The tab2tab.exe program (in the MITAB Windows download package) is what
you'd use to convert a single file between MIF and TAB formats.
e.g.
tab2tab.exe source.mif target.tab
or
tab2tab.exe source.tab target.mif
Unfortunately the tab2tab program doesn't contain any logic to loop
through all files in a directory. If you're on Windows then you can
write a loop in a batch file to do that. The following Blog seems like a
good tutorial:
