I have uploaded a revised version of DOTS. DOTS has several small improvements and fixes for some bug (including one that interfered with PostScript output). I have also uploaded GLOBE, which displays 3D vector graphics like DOTS, but also displays a unit sphere and removes all the lines hidden by it. GLOBE is particularly appropriate for displaying geographical information and the locations of near-Earth satellites. In this case, it is helpful to display world coastlines as a background. I have also uploaded WORLD, which has a binary database of world coastline points, plus a program for producing ASCII files at various resolutions.
