Data East TAB Reader for ArcGIS Desktop is an ArcGIS Plug-in Data Source allowing direct reading of MapInfo TAB format and MIF/MID files in ArcGIS with retention of existing native TAB rendering, symbology properties and information about coordinate system (spatial reference). At that, TAB Reader provides also tools for importing TAB symbology to ArcGIS, batch converting TAB symbology from TAB files to ArcGIS layer (.lyr) files, and importing MapInfo workspaces (.wor) to ArcGIS ArcMap documents (.mxd).
