Actually, you can go to the ESRI site (www.esri.com) and get them in
shapefile format, then use Universal Translator to bring them into
MapInfo. Go to http://www.esri.com/data/online/index.html
then under Select Data by Type choose "U.S. TIGER data," then you'll
have to register, then select a state, then Select by Layer.
This derives from TIGER95 and I don't know if it contains changes in
Texas or Georgia that occured with the 105th congress, and certainly
not the ones for the 106th Congress in North Carolina. The 104th
congress boundaries should be fine for all other states.
