I would use GEOTOOLS to read those coordinates, reproject them (if needed) and write them to a shapefile. GEOTOOLS has everything you would need to do that job and it's actually a fairly simple program to write using GEOTOOLS. If you need pointers/help in getting started with GEOTOOLS I'm more than willing to help you if you want.<br>

You should do this in a GIS tool - normal procedure would be import as<br>
text file and save as shape file. However, first you need to choose your<br>
poison when it comes to a GIS. A lot to choose from.<br>
It possible OGR tools might do the job too.<br>
