FAQ
MID to PIC Conversion
What are MID files?
MID is the attribute table of MapInfo's interchange format, in which map data are exchanged as a pair of text files. The shapes of the objects, such as points, lines, and areas, are kept in a file with the .mif extension, while the .mid file holds the descriptive data about the same objects, such as names, codes, numbers, and dates, in the form of a simple table. MapInfo is a desktop GIS program widely used in business, telecommunications, and local government, and this pair of files is its open way of passing data to other programs, because both files are plain text and can be read and corrected in any text editor. The .mid file is not useful by itself, since it contains no coordinates.
What are PIC files?
The PIC file format was first associated with PC Paint and later on with its developed version, Pictor Paint. It was one of the first formats accepted as a standard under the DOS platform, and it was developed by John Bridges. PIC files represent raster images, which can use an up to 24-bit color range. The advanced versions of PC Paint and Pictor Paint support image compression and the PIC files created using these programs are device-independent.
