ogr connecting to .tab files

[Donal Regan]

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the reply.

What I have is a load of .tab files with corresponding .TIF files. The .tab files have  Type : "RASTER" in the definition table so I presume that means they're not supoorted. Does this mean I can't use them as a Mapserver datasource at all? Or can I convert them somehow into a format supported by Mapserver?

Thanks,

D.

Donal,

Is it possible that your tab file is really a "raster tab", that is a .tab
file describing a raster file, rather than part of a vector dataset (usually
a .tab, .id, .map and .dat)?  If so, you are out of luck as OGR (nor GDAL)
support .tab labelled rasters.

Best regards
