Look at a utility package from Frank Warmerdam (the "FW" part).
http://fwtools.maptools.org/
The tool you can use from the command-line is "ogr2ogr"
The following command will translate an ESRI Shapefile into a MapInfo
TAB file:
C:\> ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -a_srs epsg:4326 output_file.tab
input_file.shp

Listers-
I have a client who is an ESRI shop and wants to use MapMarkerPLUS to
batch geocode, but also load their own data into MM+ for certain
areas. The data need to be in TAB format.
They want to be able to convert the SHP format data to TAB without
buying a full copy of MapInfo pro to do it. Anyone know of any
utilities (free or low fee) out there that can do this?
Everything I have found either converts to MIF or is an MBX requiring
MapInfo Pro to run.
TIA,
