Following Matt's question (below) regarding documentation of GeoReg.MBX, I am also wondering if there is some documentation on the MBX tools supplied with MapInfo. I have scanned the PDF documentation, but there is nothing about these except a brief discription of tools in the tool manger. And why are tools like GeoReg not part of the Tool Manager - they're hidden away?

That looks like the thing I was looking for and it was already under my nose. Is there any such thing as documentation on the other misc tools in that folder?

It's called GeoReg.MBX. I don't think it shows up in the Tool Manager, but should be in the tools folder of your MapInfo install. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Fowler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, 30 January 1999 1:31 To: Perry Chris Subject: RE: MI Real Estate/ Aerial Photography **Clarify the Question Chris: That mbx is not on http://www.ctmap.com/mapinfo/files1.htm or the page 2 - that I can locate anyway- who was that written by?

Depending on the systems your running, we have found that 5-10MB is the largest file you can reasonably use in MapInfo. This gives a couple of seconds delay which is acceptable. You'll probably need to do some trial and error on your system, but this might be a starting point. 2. There is an application which will create TAB files from GeoTiff files. I believe the person who makes this has already replied to your previous e-mail. I think the MBX might be on Bill Thoen's FTP site. 3. Pitfalls: make sure when you test the application, its through the slowest possible link. No-one will wait 2 minutes for a screan to appear.... Good luck ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
