Hello all,

I am examining my options for writing MapInfo tables.

The documentation for the MAPINFO_EFAL Writer says that it is a Technical Preview and “Safe Software does not recommend using this format in production environments.”

So, I have been avoiding using this option.

But, it has been a technical preview for years now.

How reliable is it really? Am I being too cautious?
