Thanks Brent,<BR>
You were right. I forgot to run setenv.bat, I have to do always otherwise the tools will not work. So I processed the shapefile and I have a resulting shapefile, hopefully in Google's Mercator projection like so:<BR>
<BR>
PROJCS["Google Maps Global Mercator",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],PROJECTION["Mercator_2SP"],PARAMETER["standard_parallel_1",0],PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0],PARAMETER["central_meridian",0],PARAMETER["false_easting",0],PARAMETER["false_northing",0],UNIT["Meter",1]]<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
The result is rather trimmed but I will firstly check if it overlays on the google layer.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers<BR>
