BGA to SHP Conversion
What are BGA files?
The BGA file format represents a currently obsolete OS/2 Warp bitmap image. OS/2 was the second generation of operating systems released by Microsoft and IBM in the late 1980s. OS/2 Warp was launched in 1994 and represented and upgraded version of OS/2, developed solely by IBM. The name "Warp" was actually taken from the Star Trek series, where it represented a propulsion system than ran faster than light.
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.
