Your question title asks how to convert .TAB files, however, the description asks how to convert a workspace. They're two different processes. Which one do you want to convert? TAB or WOR?

Been a while since I have opened a workspace. If you open the .wor in a texteditor, can you still see all the layer and directory locations. If so, read the .wor as a text file or something like it and decipher all the tab files in it. From there you could use a featurereader to read the relevant tab files and convert to a single DWG for the workspace.
