----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I have been using International Computer Works, Inc. "TIGER to MapInfo Translator" (TMT) ver. 5.3. I am very pleased with it. It converts "coverages" (roads, power lines, hydro, tracts, '80 block groups, etc.) to MapInfo for Windows and DOS (MIF/MID and MMI/MBI formats) It is not cheap, on the other hand, it works and makes the TIGER data (such as it is) fully available to my user community.
