[comp.os.msdos.programmer] Request for map data.

pasanen@fuug.fi (Harri Pasanen) (10/02/90)

This really doesn't belong here, other than that I use msdos and make 
programs on it.  I sort of figured that programmers have their hands on
everything, so you might know.

I'm looking for a map database in machine readable form.  It should be
something similar to the worldmap package available, but with more accuracy
and detail.
   From July Byte magazine I gathered that CIA has made up such a database
with 170 000 points - I think it was called Micro World Database or some
such, being essentially a port of a 6 million point database on mainframes.
Is this available via FTP from someplace?   Maybe KGB has done one too? :-).
   While I am at it:  I need a GIF picture of Albert Einstein, does it exist?


Thank's
