MI/MB free resources on the WEB
This page is an on-going compilation of sites offering resources for MI users with the limitation that they should be free. In the area of applications, that notion includes freeware, shareware and trial/evaluation/limited_capacity software. Help covers all technical tips, MB programming hints and MB code scripts.
The quality of such a page resides in its constant upgrading not only of the elements in the list (inclusion of all known potential links) but also of the details of each link (proper url, exact description)
Contribute to that undertaking by signaling me missing links and omitted or inexact details. E-mail me at mailto:jacques@paris-pc-gis.com
The sites are regrouped in five categories:
Official regroups MapInfo official site (MI home and "national" distributors)
Depot houses productions from other sources. Very useful way to distribute resources when one does not "own" a site. Not always up to date as far as latest versions of resources and links. Always better to check the author's site if it is known.
User Group is a variation on depot with perhaps more emphasis on FAQ and user support and less on the depot itself.
Source offers at least one free application or some "help" among its offerings
Evaluation only for sites that offer only a trial/evaluation version (excluded are pure demo not operational offerings)
