I would use <a href="http://www.gdal.org/ogr2ogr.html">ogr2ogr</a> from GDAL to reproject using a proj4 string. For example to wgs84:<br><br>ogr2ogr -s_srs "+proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=90 +k=0.9996 +x_0=500000 +y_0=-2000000 +a=6377276.345 +b=6356075.41314024 +units=m +no_defs" -t_srs wgs84 out.shp in.shp<br>
