ESRI format is published so you could use the MapGuide SDF SDK to generate
the actual ArcView stuff easy. Unfortunately, MI hold their cards closer to
their chest but a TAB SDK is available where business case is appropriate.
This means that from the SDF SDK you could be creating MI files and
bypassing the need to purchase FME - note that I am not knocking FME! It is
a great product and IMHO should be on every GIS professional's desk. For
reasons of automation, you do not need it - but i think u have to get the
TAB SDK deal direct from MI.

The word from the MapGuide community is in agreement:
Convert to SDL using the SDF Loader, then import into MI using FME...

You should check out Vancouver, Canada's, Safe Software, and their
Translators: FME Professional Suite, or FME Professional ESRI Suite.
It's
worth the money considering the power to translate geospatial
information.
Both MapInfo and ESRI use a subset of FME for their products
translators.

I can attest to FME Professional Suite for MapInfo and it's ability to
correctly translate CARIS NTX files. Provided the data is exported
properly
from CARIS.
