If you have further questions, feel free to post them to theliblas-devel mailing list (see link on liblas.org). Mateusz Peter, you may try to use libLAS utilities (http://liblas.org/):

I come from Hungary and now I make an intership by Z_GIS (www.uni-salzburg.at/zgis). I can't write a comment on the "Geocoding an address list to shapefile" post and I can't find your email address. That's why I write here. I'm working on a python script to convert text files into point shapefiles and I read on your blog, that you made a txt2shp.py. I tried to download the script, but got a 404 error. If your script is free to modify, send me please. Maybe I write a new one, but I think your script would be a good starting point for me. Thanks!
