You could use dbfdump. I think it is delivered with FWTools.

Is the FID supposed to be in the .dbf file that accompanies the .shp
file? I have examined this file, and I don't see an FID column (column
names are in the first row). In particular, since starspan2 reports an
FID of 0 for Zemmour, Mauritania, I would expect to see a column with
the value 0 in the Zemmour row of the .dbf file. But, there isn't
one. I was assuming that FIDs were in one of the other files in the
set (.dbf, .fix, .qix, .shp, .shx).<br>

I've attached the source to a GDAL application I wrote (it simply accesses
the GDAL/Geos buffer function) to repair geometry of polygons. Use the -r
option (the -c option doesn't work). You'll need to link with a version
of GDAL that uses GEOS.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.<br>

I used version 1.2.01, but I don't recall why...

Hmm. I'll switch, and see what happens.<br>
