[gdal-dev] Making MITAB to recognize Extented MapInfo TAB

[Rahkonen Jukka (MML)]

Hi,

Might be good if the MITAB driver could recognize if TAB file is of the new Extented TAB format and show a meaningful error for the users. It could save troubles similar to  this one in gis.stackexchange https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/369014/mapinfo-tab-files-with-largeint-cant-be-converted-to-qgis-or-any-other-format. I hope the new format has some magic number that stores the version.
