This directory contains three utilities for working with spatial data
contained in ESRI shapefiles:

  -  The infoshp utility is useful for gathering information
     from ESRI shapefiles when you are preparing to load the
     shapefiles into a database.

  -  The loadshp utility loads spatial data from an ESRI
     shapefile into the database.

  -  The unloadshp utility copies data from the database to
     an ESRI shapefile.

These utilities require IBM Informix ESQL/C runtime libraries.  You
must install IBM Informix ClientSDK or IBM Informix I-Connect, version
2.50.xC2 or higher.

You can leave these utilities in this directory, or you can copy them
to $INFORMIXDIR/bin.  If you leave them here, you may want to add the
current directory to your $PATH environment variable.  If you copy
them to $INFORMIXDIR/bin, you may not have to change your $PATH
environment variable, if $INFORMIXDIR/bin is already included in the
variable definition.
