Zhonghai Wang,

I think the above should be expressed:

   ogr2ogr -s_srs +init=world:CH1903 -t_srs EPSG:4326 %1 %2

Sometimes, depending on environment variable settings, the init file
support won't work.  If that occurs you would be better off looking up
the proj4 string and inserting the whole thing.  If you do that don't
forget to quote the argument.

Best regards,
