Hi all,

I haven't actually used MITAB yet, but have a couple questions before 
I delve in. I hope it's okay?

1. I don't have much C/C++ experience, I run on Windows XP and need 
to know if using the MITAB libraries will be problematic. Do I need 
to compile these C libraries or once installed can I just refer to 
the *.h files in a C/C++ program? Basically, what do I need to do to 
ensure successful installation on Win XP

2. I am planning on using the MITAB libraries within a web context. 
I'm hoping to convert TAB files into SVG files on the fly using 
possibly PHP, maybe ASP. I am also planning on allowing edits to 
data, both geographic and attribute and then saving the TAB file with 
the changes.

In a sense this is process I have in mind:

SVG <- PHP <- TAB (display only (create on-the-fly SVG files))
SVG -> PHP -> TAB (write changes made at the browser to the TAB file)

In short, I want to read/write TAB files on a server, and allow a 
user clientside to see, edit the data and this then to alter the TAB 
file on the server. 

Is this possible? my average TAB file is extremely small, only 30 
polygons or so, with limited attribute data.

Thanx,
Ben
