Hi,

I am a little confused about the documentation on shapefiles. It says poly
shapefiles are only available in versions 2.0.0 or later but the current
version is 2.0.a9 and it does not work in this version. So is this function
not available yet?

Also, has anyone had experience with converting grads outputted shp files to
kml files for viewing in google earth? what utility do you use for
conversion? I have tried this with an online app at geocommons.com but there
is a loss of information and it seems not to be very good tool. How can you
maintain contour properties such as shading and values etc?
