MBFS to MIF Conversion
What are MBFS files?
MBFS is an image file format created or edited using a Stardent graphics workstation. Stardent Inc. was formed in the late 1980s from the merger of Ardent Computer Corp. and Stellar Computer Inc. The company became well known in the manufacturing of computer graphic workstations in the early 1990s, but sales declined in time, especially due to competition by larger brands such as IBM or HP. Stardent ceased to exist in mid-1990s.
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.
