Something appears to have gone wrong with this message
and the reply from Dr Ruslan Rainis that has caused
multiple postings, but I didn't see an answer to the
MapInfo part of the question, so here's one:
Yes, this is easy to do in MapInfo Professional.
First, open the file directly via 'File>Open'
Second, make it mapable via
'Table>Maintenance>Table Structure'
Third, in the MapBasic window
('Options>Show MapBasic Window')
type 'Update your_table_name Set Obj =
CreateLine(x1, y1, x2, y2)'
Forth, display the newly created lines via
'Window>New Map Window'
