Hi,
the attached exe file converts .tfw to .tab.
It uses the following assumptions :
it converts all tfw's in the current dir (you start it from your command line)
it takes that the name of the raster file is the same as the name of the tfw file.
It asks for the raster file extention. (You need

What do you think are the major consequences for the mapping and GIS community?
Will maps become cheaper or better, just because everybody can use GPS for ground work?

May I ask why you find it necessary to use both AV and MI in your office? The
reason I ask is that I've been using MI Pro 5.0 for about 9 months but found
that I was being asked to run analyses that I wasn't capable of doing with out
of the box MI. These analyses involve patient
YES
I believe all MI users who have had a opportunity t o work with AV
can say that they both have advantages. Funny though MI has not picked up
on that and made the changes that would help influence upgrade buyers.
We use both as well and I wonder whether I am wasting my money on upgrades.
Short answer - Our GIS Group uses both, and I think it is not uncommon at
all.

Just to stick my oar in, I have both MI and Autocad14.0/Map 3.0 and use
both. Why you might ask?
I find that they both have strengths and weaknesses. Mapinfo's strong
points are cost, relative lack of complexity (at a user level) and standard
of map presentation. Acad is costly, but I far

I'm all for lively discussions of GPS/SA, since they're integral for many of
