RES: [mapserver-users] Anybody have updated Mapserver Utilities??

[woodbri at swoodbridge.com]

While this is an excellent utility there is a much simpler way to get 
the extents of the shape file. See the below, and the file extents 
are list as File Bounds (xmin, ymin) to (xmax, ymax).

[woodbri at linus mdata]$ shpdump nhpnnd | head
Shapefile Type: Point   # of Shapes: 125797

File Bounds: ( -176.766473,   17.932413,0,0)
         to  (  179.391600,   71.316577,0,0)

Shape:0 (Point)  nVertices=1, nParts=0
  Bounds:( -156.744416,   71.316577, 0, 0)
      to ( -156.744416,   71.316577, 0, 0)
     ( -156.744416,   71.316577, 0, 0)
