FAQ
SUL to MIF Conversion
What are SUL files?
SUL is an old and obsolete image format file associated with GFA RayTrace — a program designed for Atari ST computers. The software was released in the late 1980s and allowed users to operate with 3D objects in an incipient stage, usually implying a lot of time for required calculations. SUL files are now considered rare, so opening them probably requires conversion.
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.
