[Qgis-user] converting espg 4326

[Alex Mandel]

I'm going to take a guess that you are asking if QGIS can create a prj 
file that contains the projection information so that other programs 
loading the shapefile can also read it. If that's the case I believe the 
Vector->Data Management->Define Projection tool is what you're looking for.

Thanks,
Alex
