[mapserver-users] mapserver problem (fwd)

[Chris Stuber]

Venkat,

I suggest that you download Shapelib
at http://gdal.velocet.ca/projects/shapelib/index.html
and use 'shpdump <shpfile> |more '.   The first thing it spits
out is the extent of the shapefile.   Over the years I
have found the tool to be invaluable and I use it all the
time  (thanks Frank).

Regards,

Chris Stuber (mapsurfer)
