[OpenLayers-Dev] Shapefiles, Again

[Carsten Eider]

First you will have to unzip a file to get at least the three relevant
shapefiles and then you would have to
examine these non text higly binary files. sorry this is stuff a browser
was designed for.

Maybe ogr2ogr (http://www.gdal.org/index.html) may help you to convert
your files
