[mapserver-users] shpdmp under WIndows 98 does not work?

[Jan Mantkowski]

Hi list,

i try to change the Units of the europe example from Meters to DD.
So i am looking for the right Extents in DD format.

I noticed that i can do this by using shpdump.exe from the
shapelib129_bin_win.zip file.
So i copied all files from teh zip and europa.shp to the folder C:\a.
In a  DOS box i typed

c:a\> shpdump.exe europa.shp

But all i get is an error:
"Programm had been terminated  because of an error."

or something like that (its a german Windows 98, so i tranlated)

I also tryed
c:a\> shpdump europa      but got the same error.
Any hints?

Can i use the shapelib.dll to do the same using php? How to do it?

Jan
