Do you have a dbfawk file I could possibly use as a template? I've only had time to do some work on a dbfawk file for the roads shapefile so far. It's nowhere near polished, but it does the job. It should be attached. Just place this in the same directory as the OSM shapefiles and select just the roads one in the map chooser and it should work. Carl.
