<div>Hi Daniel,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>thanks for your important information. Actually I am using the MITAB C# Wrapper now, but I can not read the C++ source code, because I am not good at it, besides, it will take surely a lot of time to read the source. Therefore I am trying to find a sort of specification for the file format.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>anyway, thanks for your helpful links and for any other efforts finding the official specification.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best Regards</div>
