simple tool for conversion

[Ed McNierney]

Joseph -

You should realize that there's nothing wrong with putting lat/lon
coordinates in a shapefile.  You seem to think that some "conversion" is
necessary, and it's not.  The world is full of shapefiles with lat/lon
coordinates in them.

Yes that is what I am trying to do.  I have the latitude and longitude
for different Mysql database records and I wish to produce a point shape
file of these coordinates.

This makes no sense to me what-so-ever what are you trying to do? Take
vertices in a text file and build a shapefile? Project lat/lon values
into California State Plane?

Can anyone make a recommendation for unix command line tool that will
convert lat/long to xy coordinates?

Thanks.
