[OSGeo-UK] How to use OS data? Missing OS GIS

[Matthew Pulis]

Guys,

I know some time ago I was trying the ogr2ogr but ended up hitting a brick
wall in the case where SHP's dbf reached its limit. Does this tool split the
SHPs into small numbers? Since OS data is quite big, such a feature would
surely be helpful.

Good job on the util ;)
