[FWTools] ogr2ogr

[David Fawcett]

Thanks Frank and Ken, 

I believe that naming an output file did the trick.  When I run the
suggested arguements, it doesn't complain and the output shapefile
files are created, including a .prj file that looks like it has the
proper info.

I guess this leads me to the next logical question...  Does OpenEv
recognize and use .prj files.  When I open up the shape that I believe
has been properly reprojected in OpenEv, it shows coordinates in
lat/lon.  When I try to add my UTM DOQ, obviously they don't display
together.

David.
