I have heard of referneces to a public domain databse of locations, with
longitute,latitude, and lots of other neet stuff that was originally
commissioned by the CIA...(and possibly done by the Harvard Business School)
but I can't seem to find it any where [Harvard hasn't answered any of my mail
yet..]...
Does anyone have a copy of this database I could FTP or that they
could send to me? I am writing a satellite tracking application for the
Macintoish, and all that data would come in very handy...
Thanks much,
David
