Greg,

I suppose primarily I was disappointed that so much work forked off on the
mapinfo driver without regard to collaboration with the MITAB developers
or GDAL/OGR developers.  But there have been other situation in which it
seems that "getting something done now for Autodesk" overrides cooperation.
If I had more time and energy I might try and help make that cooperation
happen.

Best regards,
