Freegistutorial.blogspot.com proudly present the new version of gen2shp free gis application. What is gen2shp? Based on its description on the official website, gen2shp is a C developed program that will help GIS users to convert between Arcinfo file into ESRI Shapefile (.shp). 

gen2shp is a free gis software. But unfortunately its not equipped with a user friendly interface. This software only have command line interface and not suitable for a beginner. To install gen2shp, follow the following procedures:

1. Download shapelib 1.2.8 (or higher) , install and compile it somewhere on your system - gen2shp prefers the dynamic library (manual work needed for static binding, not much work though).
2. Download gen2shp, unpack files somewhere on your system.
3. Execute 'make'. Everything should work.
4. Execute 'test' to check whether something wicked happens.
