You can download it from
www.gdal.org
you must use almost a 1.7.2 version.
I don't know if you work on windows or linux.
You must specifically download the OGR tools.
you find incstruction for ogr2ogr here
http://www.gdal.org/ogr2ogr.html
and all the supported formats here:
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_formats.html
however for windows
the more simple way is to download from this link:
http://vbkto.dyndns.org/sdk/
and specifically this version
http://vbkto.dyndns.org/sdk/Download.aspx?file=release-1500-gdal-mapserver.zip
aexplode it and put in a folder all the executables and all the dll.
after from a dos console call
ogr2ogr.exe with options for convert from GML to shapefile.

Andrea.

Thanks :)
But im afraid of the ogr...lol :(
http://ogr.maptools.org/ogr2ogr.html
The link to download this program is broken :(
I'm using QGIS program as it's supposed to be able to open up this
file type. So im looking for the GUI for it...
Is this the correct file?
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/Ogr2Ogr+based+WFS+output+format
with a link to
http://sourceforge.net/projects/geoserver/files/GeoServer/2.0.2/geoserver-2.0.2.exe/download
There is another link on a google search, but i dont want malware.
(i did install some other mapping software before which was
scare-ware, unfortunately)
... so i'll try it, if it's the correct program :)
Thanks,
sam
