[Gdal-dev] Caris NTX support

[Milo van der Linden]

Hello Frank,

In this particular case where I do have a client, I wouldn't mind to 
invest in someone's development cost. I am not that good at writing C++  
and I surely do not know how it could best be integrated in the OGR 
system. If there would be any suggestions on that part they are welcome, 
I would like to give it a try, but if someone is interested in getting 
his or her development costs covered doing this, that would also be 
appriciated. Since development on ntxshape has stopped in 2003, I don't 
think the original developers would mind if we took over their code?
