I would suggest loading Postgresql 8.3.5 and PostGIS 1.3.3 on your system, load in the shapefile and use the built in D-P functions to do the task. There's a new function just added to 1.3.3 called "ST_SimplifyPreserveTopology" that prevents splinters and invalid polygons being formed by the D-P process. Very cool! It's free to use and runs under virtually any OS. To import a shapefile, use the shp2pgsql function and to create shapefile from the database use pgsql2shp.
