[OSM-talk] How to convert OSM into GML - examples needed

[yuri bay]

Hi Nick,

Many thanks for your reply.  I would like to learn more on the process of 
converting OSM into Shapefile.  I have also posted another enquiry about 
Artem's reply on using osm2pgsql.c.  basically I am win2k user with winGRASS 
installed and I wanted to put UK streetmap into GRASS.  I am newbie to GRASS 
and not a Linux user.  So I have not got a clue how to do the conversion at 
all.  For instance where do I put the script osm2shp? in a C compiler? Do I 
need MinGW? What is the command involved? Please help, your advice is much 
appreciated.

Best Regards
Casey
