Ahmet,
If one follows that logic, why shouldn't every little thing in MI Pro be
included in MapX as well ?
MapX is NOT MapInfo Pro, and as such, one can't reasonably expect that all
MI Pro functionality is included.
Mif/Mid has absolutely nothing to do with MapX, no more than e.g. DXF has.
The general idea is, that you should (normally) use MI Pro to make the data
ready for MapX.
And provide the data in ready-to-use format (TAB).
That's why it's such a scoop that MI Pro and MapX is data compatible.
So I have to agree with Bill Thoen.
And good opportunities for 3rd party development isn't all bad ;-)
Regards
Lars Nielsen

Subject: Re: MI MapX - can mapx import mif/MID files
I don't think that MapX programers have to write their own import export
routines..
If MapInfo Team had writen this routines for MapInfo they must include
same
code MapX like
mytable = MifImport(Mif_Filename,Tab_Name)
Which is logical?
- 100's of people will try to write same (similar code) ( := time
consumption)
- 1 MapInfo Programer will convert MI syntax to MapX syntax for 100's od
MapX programmer
This is similar to CAD utilities,
everyone have to write some SIMPLE and BASIC Cad utilities for MapInfo,
Best Regards....
