I was wondering if any of y'all could tell me where (or possibly mail me) the sources (postscript or dmp or even GIF!) of the outlines for country or global maps. -chew

He advertises in Dr.Dobbs journal a lot. I have his BBS number handy...1-512-258-8831 Good BBS, and has a list of his stuff that is for sale. He sells 'C' stuff almost exclusively, but he also has data files like you are looking for. Cheers Woody H >

If you look in the newsgroup where Brian Reid posts his usenet traffic maps (they fought about the name long enough that I ignored the outcome), you should be able to extract lots of outlines from there.

I have a tape, but I won't have access to it for a while (5 meg of data) I heard that there is a file in simtel20.arpa of 1 meg that is a lower resolution version. You can contact kpeterson@simtel20.arpa, or use a listserv to find out what the name of the file is. If you get it to work in postscript I'd be interested.
