FAQ
ISS to MIF Conversion
What are ISS files?
The ISS image format is considered rare and obsolete, and such files can only be opened using a limited number of image viewers. ISS files most likely contain bitmap images that were created or edited a long time ago. In case you have received such a file or found one on an old hard-drive, the best way to access its content is conversion to a better known format, such as JPEG or PNG.
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.
