- I'm not certain about the Mac package, but you might wish to look into
- Atlas from Strategic Mapping.
-
- At least the DOS product, Atlas GIS/Pro is able to import Arc/Info files
- and use them.
-
- Caveat: The DOS based product imports Arc/Info files with only about 75%
- accuracy. With some data it works, other data, forget it.
-
- Again, I'm not sure what the Mac version comes with in terms of import
- routines, but it's worth looking into.
