[Qgis-community-team] MapInfor to QGIS....Please help.....

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

Can I suggest to move this discussion to the QGIS users list. This
list is for the community team (documentors, translators etc) so much
important feedback will be missed by holding your discussion here.

You can sign up for the list here:

Regards

Tim
