Ben, As others have mentioned, You can read and write Tab files using the MITAB library found at: http://pages.infinit.net/danmo/e00/index-mitab.html . I've used this library in several projects and haven't had much trouble using it. One exemption. It's difficult to handle index files in MITAB for TAB-files generated by other-language versions of MIPro than english (because of the different sort-order in the indexfile). But a straight read-through of tab-files "is a snap for MITAB" :)
There is a list for mitab-users at [EMAIL PROTECTED] There is a complete VB program (mitab_vb_test.vb) using MITAB to read and write all information to/from a TAB file (minus indexes) included in the MITAB distribution file. It should not be difficult to change this example to read a tab-file and convert it to SVG on-the-fly. regards Bo Thomsen GeoConsult I/S Denmark (Contributor of Delphi and VB interfaces to MITAB :) -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Ben Crane [mailto:crane_ba@;yahoo.com] Sendt: 5. november 2002 17:11 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: MI-L Getting Table Info using C/Perl/VB Hi, Does anyone know how to obtain all the spatial/attribute information from a MI Table using perl/c or VB?
