Paul,
A useful site is Grime - http://www.grime.net/GISTools/
Otherwise a web search for 'TAB to SHP conversion' or similar may yield
results.
Most people would probably use the 'universal translator' tool within
MapInfo, if you are lacking this software a similar conversion can be
achieved within software which reads both TAB and SHP formats, eg Blue
Marble, Cadcorp, ER Mapper if you have access to these.
Perhaps someone else has a better method?
Hope this helps,
Rich

Subject: Converting MapInfo files to ArcView
Hi,
I have a set of files from a partner that have arrived as .DAT, .MAP,
.ID
and .TAB files. Does anyone know of any conversion utilities that can
convert these to ArcView format. (I have an ArcView licence, but the
partner doesn't have a MapInfo professional licence and can't manage the
conversion their end).
Many thanks
Paul
