<div><span><font size="2" face="Arial">I'm trying to use
ogr2ogr to convert a KML file to a shapefile. Mostly it works. But
the description data from the kml file is getting truncated in the
shapefile. It looks like it is creating the attribute as a text field with
only 80 characters. Any way around this?</font></span></div>
