Despite what the documentation states, OpenEV will write BSB format files.
Or at least it will write the headers in BSB format, however the file data
isn't compressed and can't be read by any program other than itself.

I must admit that I was under the impression that it origonally had written
BSB format files and that functionality had been, or was about to be,
disabled due to a letter from a lawyer representing MapTech which claimed
copywrite infringement. Thus my statement of "get it now" while the
functionality was still there.

I did find a program from Caris which will write BSB format files,
unfortunately it's $9500....

I do not see BSB (.KAP) formats supported in OpenEV. You might want to
check out the official OpenEV site at:

http://openev.sourceforge.net/

Sourceforge is a repository for 100's of open source projects.

Since OpenEV has been place in the public domain (read the reasoning
at the above URL) I don't think it is going to disappear very soon.
