Listers

Usually, I have faith in Outlook 2003, my ISP, and the mailserver handling
MapInfo-L but I sent an email comment Thurs 19/01 which is up there on the
Archive but didn't get to me.

(Yes, I have searched my Outlook thoroughly - even with Windows Desktop
Search, Enterprise version).

Has this happened to anyone else? 

Below is the reply I sent (may have been seen by all listers, not recd on my
account).

Raster to vector programs might have problems (even after you get over the
problem of reading the MrSid).
Raster to vector programs might have problems (even after you get over the

MrSidDecode (or, the much faster utilities available, not from Lizardtech /
Celertem) will do SID to TIFF (etc). 4.5Gb - prepare for something (eg,
TIFF) huge, that most programs cannot even open. 

Since MapInfo Pro can handle the SID file, why not do the "vectorizing"
yourself by tracing the bounds that you want, onto a new layer? I assume
that the SID is georeferenced. 

As for a service: are you in the USA or elsewhere in this world?
