the .shp file translation will use the required additional files and create the .tab, .map, .dat etc. note, however, that the .prj file is NOT a projection file, but a "project" file which is equivalent (more or less) to a MapInfo workspace. you will have to know the original projection and set it in UT.

Greetings list. I have quite a few sets of dlg's I'm converting from ESRI
shape file format to MI. The sets contain the following ordinary ESRI files,
does UT require _ALL_ of these files to convert to tabs?

*.sbx
*.prj projection file?
*.sbn
*.dbf data
*.shp vector data?
*.shx index data?

I know the dbf and shp files are required and probably a couple more but
all?

Thanks,
David Reid
