[opendx-users] shapefiles to DX

[Lloyd A Treinish]

Has anyone posted a shapefile (Arc/Info) reader/filter for DX or know of a
free (or nearly free) generic reader?  I don't own a license to any ESRI
software, and would rather not buy one.  What I have been doing is getting
the people that provide the shapefiles to convert it to the Arc export
format, which is pretty easy to read with a simple c program as a DX
filter.  But that's getting inconvenient as opposed to working with the
shapefiles directly.  Thanks.
