FAQ
TAB to DIS Conversion
What are TAB files?
The TAB file format is associated with software developed by MapInfo Corporation, an American provider of mapping applications. TAB files are popular among users of GIS software and store geospatial datasets in vector format that can also include raster images and grid surfaces as layers.
What are DIS files?
The DIS extension is associated with the DKB Ray-Tracer, a piece of software originally created by David Kirk Buck and Aaron A. Collins, which served as a predecessor for the POV Ray-Tracer. The latter software has the capacity to generate images from text-based scene descriptions and works on various platforms. Though fairly popular on PC/MS-DOS platforms at its release, the DIS format is now obsolete. It can, however, be viewed and converted to more accessible formats.
