Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:1693 matter]:
 > Compatibility or parsing problems have been noted with shapefiles made
 or exported from Arc 9.x, resulting in a "xxxxxxx.shp is not a valid or
 recognized data source" dialogue. The shapefiles work in Arc, so this may
 be easily solved by allowing for some tolerance in the OGR library?

 can be downloaded here.]
