Yes, .MIF/.MID is the MapInfo Interchange Format. It's the text-based equivalent of .TAB datasets. > How to > convert my .tab files into .mif/.mid and would this operation be > information-lossless? MITAB's tab2tab program does exactly that (convert from MIF and TAB and vice-verse), and there should be no information loss when going from MIF to TAB or TAB to MIF. > Do you know any tools to read .tab files under > Java directly?
