[OSGeo-Discuss] Support for '@' field type in a Shapefile.

[Ariel Nunez]

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on adding support for reading and writing
timestamps on a Sapefile using GeoTools [1].

On a talk with FrankW on #gdal I learned that the timestamp field
(code: '@')  is not supported by ogrinfo and also that it does not
enjoy much widespread use.

My question is, apart from ESRI software, is anyone aware of a OS
library or software package that supports such field type?

Best,

Ariel.
