Unfortunately I have never had the experience of using the MAC. I
don't even know how to get a command line interface. I'd recommend
googling mac and ogr2ogr.<br>

You didn't say what OS so your mileage may vary. For this kind of
operation I would use the ogr2ogr application from the gdal utilities.
I believe if you're using the windows osgeo install that it is
installed if you're using linux it's a matter of installing gdal which
if you have qgis it's probably already there.<br>
<br>
So to reproject a bunch of shapefiles the source files in d0 and the
destination in d1:<br>
<br>
ogr2ogr -t_srs (specify the target CRS you can use proj4 string or an
existing .prj file) d1 d0<br>
<br>
The default type for ogr2ogr is shapefile so you don't need to specify
a type even. ogr2ogr also does other operations including clipping.<br>
