Hi James,
I think, though I can't check, that ArcView probably defaults to "Projection
Geographic" when it doesn't know what projection the maps are actually on -
can anyone confirm this?
If this is the case, then you've got two choices - either find out what the
projection really is and use that, or use MapInfo's 'non-earth' projection
instead. The best solution would be the first one if you can find the
correct projection.
