>Hi Ole
Basically the problem is not too disimilar if you run a copy of any
version pre 4.5 with 4.5 or later, one of the problems is caused by
the increase in node limit in polygons, as well as the line style
improvements with 4.5, I have however frequently been able to use a
text editor on the tab file and change the version number to 4 and
then files open effortlessly in MI 4 for pc or for PowerMac a copy of
which I still manage to get a lot of life from, although improvements
wit hraster file formats such as sid or ecw may well finish it off
long before it should really come to its economic end. My G3 350 is
so much more stable than my Dell PIII xeon 600 NT thing, I use
photoshop and a scanner on both , the pc is forever loosing the scsi
card, scanner or a million and other one things, if I want to get the
job done I use the mac , if I want to appear to be co-operative I use
the PC, and mac 9.0.4 works well with MI for the Power Mac, all
Iwant now is mapbasic to try to build in a bit more functionality
cheers
Adrian
