Lots of good info at
http://www.swcp.com/~russo/shape_web/index.html#ogrproj
If your shapefile sets come with .prj files, then the .prj file likely
defines what the existing coordinate system is and
ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -t_srs EPSG:4326 OutputDirectory
InputShapefile.shp
will get to where you need to be.

I have a set of shape files in the local county coordinate system. I
have all the equations to convert individual points to long lat, but I
am unsure of how to approach a shape file. Arc view apparently happily
reads and overlays shape files in the county coordinate system, in the
Wisconsin state coordinate system and in Long Lat. Should Arc View be
able to output specific layers in various coordinate systems? Can I
somehow put the equations for conversion into Xastir?
Any ideas?
Many thanx!............ jt
