FAQ
PGC to MIF Conversion
What are PGC files?
PGC is an archaic image format associated with Atari Portfolio — the first palmtop computer in the world, released in 1989. It is a small and simple raster graphics format, using RLE compression and offering limited quality. The PGC format is currently considered obsolete and rare, and it might be difficult to find an image viewer that can open it.
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.
