Re: MI adding vector and bitmap images to mapinfo

During the glory days of MI v3.0 there was no support for TrueType symbols. However, 
there was 
(and even now is) a symbol editor which (unfortunately rather clumsily) allowed the 
user to draw a 
vector illustration and add it to the symbol set. Run the MapBasic program 
"symbol.mbx" and read 
the instructions for details.
