I asked Stuart Nixon of ER Mapper, and he helped confirm that MapInfo
Professional by itself does not read the geocoding information from
ECW files. The free Map Imagery plugin for MapInfo Professional adds
the ability to automatically create .TAB files from the header
geocoding information found in .ECW as well as .ERS, .HDR, GeoTIFF,
.TFW et al files.

So the client will want to continue to use Map Imagery to resolve the
problem with getting geocoded info into MapInfo Professional .
