Re: MI Ohio state plane divisions
Here's a free utility for determining into which state plane zone an area falls (you select the county and state, it gives you the zone#) http://www.mentorsoftwareinc.com/freebie/FREE0599.HTM Here are GIF maps for all the State Plane zones in the US. http://www.mentorsoftwareinc.com/RESOURCE/stplane.htm Here is the GIF map for just the 2 Ohio region state plane zones. http://www.mentorsoftwareinc.com/images/Imagedir/stplane9.gif PS: I also noticed that all the files I saw on this ftp site have the zone number in the filename itself to make identifying which zone they fall into a little easier. The site does not appear to state whether this State Plane coordinate system is using NAD83 or NAD27 datum, and also does not appear to say whether units are expressed in meters or survey feet. MapInfo Pro provides all three state plane zone definitions commonly used, so if you haven't already, you should find out which Datum (NAD27 or NAD83) is used, and what units also are used for these DOQQ's to be registered correctly in the Ohio State plane system. NAD83 in meters or Survey Feet: "Ohio 3401, Northern Zone (1983, US Survey feet)", 3, 74, 8, -82.5, 39.67, 40.43, 41.7, 1968500, 0 "Ohio 3402, Southern Zone (1983, US Survey feet)", 3, 74, 8, -82.5, 38, 38.73, 40.03, 1968500, 0 "Ohio 3401, Northern Zone (1983, meters)\p32122", 3, 74, 7, -82.5, 39.67, 40.43, 41.7, 60, 0 "Ohio 3402, Southern Zone (1983, meters)\p32123", 3, 74, 7, -82.5, 38, 38.73, 40.03, 60, 0 NAD27 in Survey Feet: "Ohio 3401, Northern Zone (1927)\p32022", 3, 62, 8, -82.5, 39.67, 40.43, 41.7, 200, 0 "Ohio 3402, Southern Zone (1927)\p32023", 3, 62, 8, -82.5, 38, 38.73, 40.03, 200, 0 There is also a shareware utility from Rich Greenwood of Greenwood Mapping that takes the accompanying *.SDW (world file) for the *.sid image and writes out the MapInfo *.tab file with the projection information needed to register it automatically provided you know the above coordinate system used.

Re: MI TFW to Tab
A little clarification is in order here I think. A *.TFW (world file) is really an ESRI convention and should not be confused with a standard GeoTiff file. GeoTiff images have the registration tags (control points, PCS code, etc.) built right into the tiff file header itself, and that is what the MapBasic utility GEOREG.MBX looks for in order to create the *.tab file for registering the image. If GEOREG.MBX does not find these tags (or valid ones) in the Tiff file header, it throws an error as it is probably an invalid GeoTiff image according to the standards given below in these URLs I've provided. GEOREG.MBX does not use any ESRI *.TFW files.

Re: MI Problem converting .shp file
Take a quick look at the readme file accompanying this *.shp file: COVERAGE INFORMATION Projection: 10TM (10 degree Transverse Mercator) Datum: NAD83 Units: meters Scale Factor: 0.9992 Longitude of Central Meridian: -115 degrees Latitude of Origin: 0 degrees False Easting: 500 000 m False Northing: 0 m You need to make sure that you choose the correct projection that this shape file was created with originally, and then apply that projection when translating with the UT going from Shp to TAB or MIF\MID format. You can add the section below to your mapinfow.prj file using a text editor then select this projection entry to use it for translation. "--- 10 Degree Transverse Mercator (NAD 83 Canada) ---" "Canada 10 TM projection (NAD83)", 8, 74, 7, -115, 0, 0.9992, 50, 0 I tried this one here and it lines up well.

Re: MI HARTEBEESTHOEK 94 DATUM
All that is needed is a custom datum to convert the local datum (Cape) to WGS84 upon which the Haartebeesthoek 94 datum is based. What was done below was to modify the MAPINFOW.PRJ file coordinate system parameters already supplied with MapInfo 5.0 for South Africa, and insert a custom datum clause with the information gleaned from some documentation taken from here: http://w3sli.wcape.gov.za/surveys/MAPPING/WGS84.HTM. The projection is still Transverse Mercator (Gauss-Kruger). According to the documentation above, to convert from Cape (local datum) to Haartebeesthoek 94 (WGS84), using the Bursa-Wolfe method MapInfo uses, the parameters are: Shift X: -134.73 Shift Y: -110.92 Shift Z: -292.66 Rotation x: 0 Rotation y: 0 Rotation z: 0 Scale Factor: 1 Prime Meridian: 0 I've included both sets of entries for the mapinfow.prj file for either the Haartebeesthoek 94 or Cape datums "--- South African Projections Clarke 1880 Cape---" "Albers Equal-Area 18/32 South", 9, 19, 7, 23, -23, -18, -32, 0, 0 "Lambert Conformal Conic ", 3, 19, 7, 23, -23, -18, -32, 0, 0 "Gauss-Kruger LO 17", 8, 19, 7, 17, 0, 1, 0, 0 "Gauss-Kruger LO 19", 8, 19, 7, 19, 0, 1, 0, 0 "LO19 with offset", 8, 19, 7, 19, 0, 1, 0, 370 "Gauss-Kruger LO 21", 8, 19, 7, 21, 0, 1, 0, 0 "Gauss-Kruger LO 23", 8, 19, 7, 23, 0, 1, 0, 0 "Gauss-Kruger LO 25", 8, 19, 7, 25, 0, 1, 0, 0 "Gauss-Kruger LO 27", 8, 19, 7, 27, 0, 1, 0, 0 "Gauss-Kruger LO 29", 8, 19, 7, 29, 0, 1, 0, 0 "Gauss-Kruger LO 31", 8, 19, 7, 31, 0, 1, 0, 0 "---South African Projections Haartebeesthoek 94---" "Albers Equal-Area 18/32 South (Haartebeesthoek 94)", 9, , 28, -134.73, -110.92, -292.66, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 7, 23, -23, -18, -32, 0, 0 "Lambert Conformal Conic (Haartebeesthoek 94)", 3, , 28, -134.73, -110.92, -292.66, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 7, 23, -23, -18, -32, 0, 0 "Gauss-Kruger LO 17 (Haartebeesthoek 94)", 8, , 28, -134.73, -110.92, -292.66, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 7, 17, 0, 1, 0, 0 "Gauss-Kruger LO 19 (Haartebeesthoek 94)", 8, , 28, -134.73, -110.92, -292.66, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 7, 19, 0, 1, 0, 0 "LO19 with offset (Haartebeesthoek 94)", 8, , 28, -134.73, -110.92, -292.66, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0,, 7, 19, 0, 1, 0, 370 "Gauss-Kruger LO 21 (Haartebeesthoek 94)", 8, , 28, -134.73, -110.92, -292.66, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 7, 21, 0, 1, 0, 0 "Gauss-Kruger LO 23 (Haartebeesthoek 94)", 8, , 28, -134.73, -110.92, -292.66, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 7, 23, 0, 1, 0, 0 "Gauss-Kruger LO 25 (Haartebeesthoek 94)", 8, , 28, -134.73, -110.92, -292.66, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 7, 25, 0, 1, 0, 0 "Gauss-Kruger LO 27 (Haartebeesthoek 94)", 8, , 28, -134.73, -110.92, -292.66, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 7, 27, 0, 1, 0, 0 "Gauss-Kruger LO 29 (Haartebeesthoek 94)", 8, , 28, -134.73, -110.92, -292.66, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 7, 29, 0, 1, 0, 0 "Gauss-Kruger LO 31 (Haartebeesthoek 94)", 8, , 28, -134.73, -110.92, -292.66, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 7, 31, 0, 1, 0, 0 Regards, -Bill -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: MI/UT diappearing dialog
The disappearing UT dialog is probably occurring if you're running Vertical Mapper version 2.1 or earlier. Northwood responded on 1/11/99 concerning this: Thanks for responding regarding our VM problem with the UT. We have tracked the problem down to a Windows messaging problem when the UT reparents MI to display the projection dialog. VM, which also had reparented MI, was trying to keep the projection dialog from being the front window and the UT wanted it to be there. It was fixed in the free patch (ver. 2.11 ?) downloadable from Northwood's website. You can also just remove or comment out the 'run program line' from your startup.wor file which starts it on loadup of MI. You'll then need to start VM manually to use it so it won't interfere with the UT.

Re: MI Problem connecting to MS-SQL Server
To use the SQL Server driver, you must have the appropriate Microsoft SQL Server DB-Library and Net-Library version installed (version 6.0 for access to 6.0 DBMS; version 6.5 for access to 6.5 DBMS). Note: The DataDirect SQL Server driver for Windows NT and Windows 95 requires Microsoft client software; it does not work with Sybase System 10 software. Your database must support catalog stored procedures. The DB-Library for Windows NT or Windows 95 is NTWDBLIB.DLL. The Net-Library you need depends on the network protocol used to connect to the SQL Server. For example, Named Pipes requires DBNMPNTW.DLL, and TCP/IP requires DBMSSOCN.DLL. Contact your Microsoft SQL Server vendor to obtain the appropriate DB-Library and Net-Library. If you attempt to configure a data source and you do not have NTWDBLIB.DLL on your path or in your Windows NT \SYSTEM32 or Windows 95 \SYSTEM directory, the following message appears: The setup routines for the INTERSOLV 3.00 32-BIT SQL Server6 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126.
