	"Map.tar.Z" untars into map data (one directory per continent)
and a simple program that reads the map data and draws maps.

	The map data comes from the "CIA world map database" originally,
but the version here is a highly compressed version created by Brian Reid.
(His format is "documented" by the code in domap.c!) The map data consists
of coastlines, rivers, lakes, international political boundaries, US state
boundaries, and Canadian province boundaries.

	The map-drawing program uses some bits of code written by Brian Reid
to read the map data. He has assured me the bits of his code used here
are public. (He also uses the same map data in a DEC proprietary map-drawing
program that is much fancier than this one. But that code isn't free like
this code is.)

	I chopped "Map.tar.Z" into 5 pieces because some ftp's out there
go bonkers with files bigger than about 2 Megs. Just cat the 5 pieces together.
(Although cat is REALLY inefficient...)

	Map_small.tar.Z contains only Coastlines, Islands, Lakes, and
Political boundaries in North and South America.

	The program "domap" is meant to be used with "vplot", but it shouldn't
be too hard to modify it to work with something else.

	Domap has a known bug; things that cross +-180 degrees of longitude
get clipped inappropriately. If you fix said bug, or make other improvements,
send me back your version so I can replace mine with it. Thanks.

	The mysterious "vp_" calls in domap refer to the vplot graphical
system, available by ftp from hanauma.stanford.edu (36.51.0.16). It shouldn't
be too much trouble to modify domap to suit whatever graphics system you
prefer. Note that you may need to throw a switch in the code of domap if
your machine uses byte-swapped binary numbers internally.
