<P><FONT size=2>Hi Holger,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>The following link could be of use to you. It describes how to
load </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>VMAP0 layers into PostGIS, but an
intermediate step in the process is </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>to convert
the layers into shapefiles using ogr2ogr. A Windows batch
</FONT><BR><FONT size=2>script is provided as an attachment that does the
VMAP0 to shapefile </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>transformation.</FONT> </P>
