This directory contains the loader and dumper utility programs.
The loader can convert shape files to an SQL dump suitable for loading into a PostGIS enabled
PostgreSQL database server. The dumper does the opposite, creates a shape file out of an PostGIS
table or arbitrary query.
To compile the program from source, simply run "make" in the source directory. Then copy the
binary into your command search path (or wherever you like).
For usage information, simply run the programs without any arguments, that will display a
help screen, and look into the ../doc/man/ directory, there are manpages ready for copying
into the manual search path on unixoid systems.
