Hi Richard
Manifold sure has many nice and advanced features, but when I tested it one
year ago, it had some serious problems with datasets of any significant
size. I tried to do some simple MIF imports and opening of tables in both MI
5, Manifold 4.5 and ArcView 3.1 with TIGER like data. These test datasets
aren't even big compared to the ones I use today (in MapInfo).
Anyone is free to check out the results at www.routeware.dk/comparison.xls
(not very nicely formatted though). I think they speak for themselves.
