font-family:Arial'>We have a (old?) version of ListGeo that is used to produce
MapInfo .tab files from GEOTIFFs, to allow them to be loaded into an
application that uses MapInfo MapX. This version of ListGeo (with the –tab
switch) has been here longer than I have and I do not know its history!</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have just tracked down some inconsistencies in position of
data in different layers in our application to the fact that the tab files we
are using all specify that the datum is OSGB1936 and the projection is
Mercator, despite the fact that most of the Geotiffs specify that the datum is
WGS 84 and that at least some of them are Transverse Mercator.</span></font></p>

that is why it has disappeared, or is there something wrong with our
environment, for example I was wondering if it needs access to CSV files?</span></font></p>
