[Mapserver-users] How to convert a CSV data to shapefile

[Mario Servin]

Frank,
    In spanish they say "Nunca es tarde cuando la dicha es buena!" which can
be translated as "It's not too late if the news are so good!". Spanish
speaking suscriber in this list could confirm it. gen2shp is exactly what I
was looking for!!. I have shapelib 1.2.9 so I hope I could use it without
any problem. In any case can I refer to you for additional help?.
    Thanks,
                Mario
