This function opens a GSB file in order to export the file's contents to a BNA, MIF/MID, SHP, or TAB file.

A GSB file contains Spatial+ objects. The supported structure of an ESRI BNA file is detailed in ESRI BNA Format, and the MapInfo MIF/MID format is discussed in MapInfo® MIF/MID Format.

Warning: Be sure to use the pipExporter handle and not the Spatial+ pipHandle type.
