FAQ
$S to SHP Conversion
What are $S files?
The $S format represents a Hobetta picture image associated with one of the first brands of personal home computers available in Europe: the ZX Spectrum. Released in 1982 by Sinclair Research Ltd., this line of computers supported an 8-bit color rendering, which was considered an advanced technological innovation when compared to earlier version such as ZX 81 that only supported black-and-white. Though rarely used nowadays and compatible with a limited number of image viewers and editors, the $S format can be converted to more popular extensions for easier handling.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
