Hi Raj,
we're very happy with Transpose from Dotted Eyes ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
for a couple of reasons:
1. it translates directly to MapInfo tables (via MIF/MID, admittedly, but
you don't have to import the MIF/MID files yourself).
2. it supports all the OS products we need to import (ie lots of different
"flavours" of NTF).
3. (did I say a couple of reasons?) Dotted Eyes actually support the thing
by providing regular updates covering new OS products and so on., which is
more than you get with some of the other converters on the market!
4. (so much for "a couple of things") You can customise the output
symbology, table/layer names.
It costs, of course, but it works well, in my opinion.
