Yuppee!!
It worked!. ..

I created an OSM file!..
Now i just need to play around using different shape files, and changing the
rules.

Your awesome!!

I'll get back to you once i figure out some more. ;)

Look forward to seeing how the tests work out.

Cheers
Sam

P.S. and to talk-ca list, once i figure it out, i'll write it on the Wiki
for shp2osm
