That was the poorly documented change that occurred I think with version
4.5. The pen clause was modified to introduce a width definition in pixels
and the interleaving of lines. But there was also a change in how non
visible lines were defined. Prior to 4.5, it was possible to set a style of
zero for them; after that, one must use style=1.

(one must understand that STYLE means PATTERN in the explanations of the Pen
clause of the Help file)

If your mif was generated with a version prior to 4.5 (impossible to see
because the mif are still defined as version 300; may be the date at which
it was created could give an idea, if it can be trusted?) then you will have
to correct any pen statement in your mif that contains the style value of 0.

Subject: MI-L mif import problem

Dear Mappers,
I'm trying to import a mif into MI4.5 and getting the following error:

(myfilepath\myfilename.mif:514) Invalid style value 0.

Anyone know what this means and how I can work around it?
Thanks in advance,
Hans
