Preetha,
MapInfo can read directly from MIF files. I'm just guessing that your purpose
might be to export MIF/MapInfo files to another format. You may want to
elaborate.
In any case the mif file will have a similar header (if not exactly the same) -
certainly the same order.
However, in some cases there will be extra lines (e.g. Unique ), and the
Coordsys line may be different depending on the projection of the map.
Hope this helps!

Subject: MIF file format
Hello,
I am trying to write a program that can read MIF files. I have downloaded
MIF file format technical description from
http://www.mapinfo.com/community/library/interchange_file.pdf.
The MIF file header contains several clauses. Is it necessary that these
clauses should occur in the order which they have been mentioned in the
document or can there exist MIF files where the order of information in the
header is different from the one mentioned in the document.
I would appreciate any help in this regard. Thank You in advance.
Regards
Preetha.
