MI actually seems to translate the files rather than read them on the fly.
It creates a .tab, .id, .ind and .map file and uses the shape files .dbf
instead of the .dat file. I'm not sure whether any linking exists between
the files (i.e. if the shape gets edited is the MapInfo table updated ??)
Cheers

Subject: MI-L MI 7.0 and ESRI Shapefiles?
According to Mapinfo's literature, Mapinfo Professional 7.0 has the
ability
to open ESRI Shapefiles directly from the Open dialog display!
I'm curious as to how well this actually works?
Any feedback would be gratefully appreciated.
Regards
John
