[comp.windows.x] country maps

This is probably a candidate for frequently asked questions, and I apologize
for having missed the answer, but I am new in this group, and hope you will
indulge.  I need to get hold of (anonymous ftp is the best for me) bitmapped
outline maps of as many countries as I can, with the larger or more populated
ones divided up into states, provinces, or whatever, and major cities marked
on them.  Does anyone know of a PD source for this type of thing?

Preferred format is TIFF, but I imagine I can convert from postscript or
whatever other common format they are organized into.  I thank any responders
most appreciatively in advance.  If anyone else wishes this information I will
mail anything I find out directly to them, if they can be reached on the
Internet.

                                        Chris
