Taavi,
Have you tried the combination of the DOS program SHP2MIF and the
Stata command -mif2dta-? Details at this page:
http://huebler.info/2005/20051106_tmap.html
Stata can continue in spite of errors with the -capture- command.

Dear statalist,
After downloading a number of Europe shape files I tried to convert
all these to suite -tmap- using -shp2dta- but got an error message
(output below).
That raised two questions:
1) do you have suggestions how to improve the code (or were to look
for solution) so that the do file wouldn't abort in case of errors
2) I guess that shapefile causing the error is not of a type
suitable for -shp2dta- and therefore - is there a way to make these suitable
for -shp2dta-
Best regards,
Taavi
