As an aid to those exploring the MapInfo "tab/dat/id/map" and "mid/map" definitions, I have updated the "map" specifications I uploaded to our web site a few weeks ago. The URL for that information is http://members.aol.com/MapToolsCompany/tabdef.txt Also, I created a little Windows program (using Delphi) that will dump out the "map" header and the spatial objects for a set of MapInfo "tab/dat/id/map" files, and it will dump the "map" file definition corresponding to a "mid/map" pair. The URL for that little "exploring" program is ftp://members.aol.com/MapToolsCompany/dbgis.zip The program is intended as a aid to learning about how minimum bounding rectangles are handled, viewing the internal definitions of symbol and font styles, etc. Be sure to read the "Notes" when you run the program.
