MapInfo Tools Pack 2009 by Neboysh@

Very useful stuff for doing extra tricks on objects. I was looking for something similar to 'Coupe' i found amongst the MapBasic tools here. Read what they had to say about MapInfo Tools Pack 2009.

All these years, advanced MapInfo users, whose skills in MapBasic are very good, writing programs and routines to do their jobs faster and of course - easier. All of these programs can be found on Internet for free (web sites and GIS portals like www.directionsmag.com).
"MapInfo Tools Pack 2009 v1.1" is my little effort to gather some of this great free tools at one place and also to make installation procedure faster -  in just one pass. This is a collection of more than 50 freeware tools that I've found very useful in my everyday's job…and probably this should be also useful for every average MapInfo user.

Anyone Georeferencing Efate D.O.S. 1/2500 maps for Department of Land Survey, 42 sheets with MapInfo and PRJ parameters above supplied by Vanuatu Department of Land Surveyor, will notice a big shift when using Efate Cassini.

The EFATE DOS Sheets grid details shown in the lower corner are Cassini as stated below, however the attempt to produce above parameters for Geo-referencing was not successful.

After discussing the issue with Land Survey Control Section, we figured TM77 works just fine!.

Grid details of 1/2500 are as follows:
