What I particularly like about this little tool (and I'm not sure if the other options will do this- let me know if they do) is that it gives you the coordinates, even if you didn't specifically record them as attributes. Very handy! I'll look at shpdump though. Tom, Mateusz, thanks for stopping by.

Certainly, it does not use any format usable with popular GIS packages, but it's useful for some simple & fast data investigation.

Note that OGR (http://www.gdal.org/ogr/), more specifically ogr2ogr, will convert from/to a variety of GIS formats; work checking out. Cool!
