I'm looking for the *large* data files for WorldDataBank, from Fred Fish #262. The authors ( Mike Groshart and Bob Dufford ) reported that WDB.2.all and WDB.1.all were too big to be included in the original distribution. Could someone tell me an ftp site/directory that would have them, or the authors e-mail address? Respond by e-mail, unless you feel that there is an overwhel- ming desire to know this on the net. Thanks much. -jp

Since there were lots of people interested last time we talked about getting these files, we should probably just post information. Somebody recently uploaded the largest data file "wdb.1.all" to ab20.larc.nasa.gov . The file is located at "/amiga/graphics/images/wdb-data.lzh". It looks like the person who uploaded it thought he(she) was uploading both files, but only the first file made it through. If that person is reading this, could you upload the second file too?

I then tried 'quote stat' (or is it 'xcat') to look at it in situ @ab20 and it gave me identical garbage. So a plea: Could the person who put it up there please try again ? And to Tad Guy @ab20 : I sent a mail message to ftp@ab20 suggesting that you could delete it - but no response/action. Did you ever get it ? Anyway, as you're gonna do some mighty cleaning there - this file can be turfed out.

There is no "/amiga/graphics/utilities" directory. I found the file in "/amiga/graphics/images" but as was reported earlier (I think), the second file 'wdb.2.all' is corrupt.
