FAQ
BFL to MIF Conversion
What are BFL files?
The BFL file format is associated with Big Flexible Line Interpretation, a feature which used to be available on Commodore 64 computers for increasing the number of colors rendered on screen. BFL files represented bitmap images that could be created and edited on the Commodore 64. The BFL format is currently obsolete, so in case you find such an image in your archive we recommend converting it to a more accessible format.
What are MIF files?
MIF is the file with the shapes in MapInfo's interchange format, which stores map data as a pair of text files. In the .mif file are the points, lines, and areas of a map layer, written as readable text with their coordinates, colors, and line styles, while the attributes of these objects, such as names and numbers, are kept in the partner .mid file. MapInfo is a desktop GIS program widely used in business, telecommunications, and local government, and the MIF and MID pair is its open way of passing data to and from other programs, since it can be read and edited in any text editor. A MIF file needs its MID file with the same name to be complete.
