Subject: Re: [MI-L] Setting Universal Translator Input and Output Directoris
Hi Doug,
If you are regularly translating lots of files, you might want to look
at running UT in a non-interactive mode using a Windows script or batch
file - you could write a script that when double clicked, automatically
translates all the TAB files in a directory to SHP format and places
them in another directory - I have pasted a simple batch script that I
have written below as an example. MI have published a paper about this
which should be available from their website.

Thhanks for the information. I'll see what I can do. All that I found on
the MapInfo site was the PDF for MI 8.0. Should I be looking for something
else?

No, The MI8.0 PDF is the document that I was referring to - The batch
file that I sent definitely works in MI7.0. The UT is actually a third
party application - a cut down version of Safe's FME software. There is
a newer version in Mapinfo 8.0, but the command line parameters don't
seem to be any different and so the document is applicable to MI7.0.
