[gdal-dev] OGR's GMT driver: requests for enhancement

[Bruce Raup]

Hi all (and Frank),

 I've been trying to use ogr2ogr to create a shapefile from a GMT text
 file.  I created the GMT file with the enhanced comment fields to
 define the attribute names, types, etc. using perl.  The problem is
 that ogr2ogr defines all the string fields as 80 characters in width.

 Is there some control over this?  I have a "description" field that is
 getting truncated.

 Thanks,
 Bruce
