I'm running the Kyng Chaos build, which appears to have OGDI support, 
but I can't figure out what file to point ogrinfo at. I downloaded a 
chart (or thought I did), and got a zip file that had a dir in it named 
"DNC26". in there is:

COA26A DHT    LAT

in the COA26A dir is:

CAT         ECR         HYD         LHT         LINEAGE.DOC POR
CUL         ENV         IWY         LIBREF      NAV         REL
DQY         GRT         LCR         LIM         OBS         TILEREF

and a bunch of stuff in those dirs -- I'm lost!

Maybe I didn't actually download a chart!

I'll poke at it more, but if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears!
