OK I did some more testing after downloading 1.5.0 release from Maptools it is
definitely in 1.5.0-beta1 and 1.5.0 release. Here is the test code:
void testMiWrite(char *szPath){
IMapInfoFile *poFile = NULL;
poFile = new TABFile;
if( poFile->Open(szPath, "wb" ) != 0 ){
delete poFile;
return;
}
/*
if the following line is commented out when using the 1.5.0 sources
MapInfo can open the table otherwise it cannot
*/
poFile->SetMIFCoordSys("CoordSys Earth Projection 1, 33");
poFile->AddFieldNative("MARKUP",(TABFieldType)1,35,0,0,0);
poFile->Close();
delete poFile;
return;
}
If I switch that code to 1.3.0 and re-compile after wiping out the obj files
created by the 1.5.0* compile everything runs just fine. I also tested it in 2
different projects that both also compile the mitab source inside of them vice
linking it and using the C API. Same results in all three projects. 1.3.0
created tables open just fine after creation and 1.5.0* created tables say
"Cannot open table whatever_table_name". If I comment out that line the table
gets created OK in 1.5.0* and opens in MapInfo but is in Non-Earth Meters which
I guess must be MapInfo's default for unknown systems.
Do you need any more info or testing from me to help nail this down?

Many things have changed leading to 1.5.0 with respect to projection and
datum handling. Could you please double-check that the problem is still
present with the final 1.5.0 release. Also, is tab2tab.exe able to read
the generated file that fails in MapInfo?
