[gdal-dev] ogr2ogr MapInfo Tab + Styling

[Simon Greener]

Folks, after much hassles and pain it came down to version.

I was running OGR/GDAL version 1.5: after I upgraded to 1.6.2 the styling started to work.

I wish to publicly thank Dale Harris for having spent quite a bit of time with me nutting this one out.

regards
Simon
