[GRASSLIST:7080] Re: VMAP to SHAPE

[Masahiro ITAMOCHI]

Hi Markus,

Thank you for your reply.

Your comment sounds great to solve my problem and I can wait for the 
newsletter published.

Just FYI, I also tried following;

*) vpf_imp (included in NIMAMUSE)
Could convert some files to shape files.
Some were not.(coudn't read feature point or exceeding feature point error)
Very unstable on my Windows XP SP2.(freeze too many time)
Can be retrieved from http://www.mapability.com/download/nima_muse/

*) ogr2ogr in FWTools for Windows
Could locate data source.
Couldn't generate any shape files.(Different from ogr2ogr on Linux)

Anyway, I'm looking forward to see the newsletter.

Thanks kindly.

Regards,

Masahiro Itamochi
