BFLI to MIF Conversion
What are BFLI files?
BFLI is a raster image format created on a Commodore 64 computer, and represents an image which is too large to be rendered at full size on screen so it needs to be scrolled vertically. Commodore 64 was one of the first models of home computers and it quickly became a highly popular device. Until this moment, the Commodore 64 is listed as the best-selling personal computer model of all times. A BFLI file was connected with a feature called Big Flexible Line Interpretation, which could increase the number of colors rendered on the Commodore 64 screen.
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.
