Thanks for the pointer David, I appreciate it. I'm using QGIS 1.7.4 on Mac OSX 10.6.8, so I can run ogr2ogr in linux. I'm not too familiar with running code in terminal, but a friend recomended installing home brew and xcode first. Do you know of any helpful tutorials to help a newby get started with running open source command line code?
