MWDBPOLY.ZIP is the complete database. ===== INFO: ===== MWDBPOLY.ZIP contains a MWDBII database that is reasonably up to date, clean, and modified to provide closed polygons without using an index file. (Index files ARE available) The following files are in MWDBPOLY.ZIP: PBORDER.TXT is a breakdown of PBORDER.PNT and notes on VECTOR graphics output. PCOAST.PNT (Header 1000 -1999) Note: Use this file when you don't want Political Borders PBORDER.PNT (Header 2000 - 2999) Note: Use this file in place of PCoast.pnt when you want Political borders PUSA48.PNT (Header 4001 - 4052) - Fred asked me to maintain his PCANPROV.PNT (Header 4053 - 4064) - original format where the headers PMEXICO.PNT (Header 4065 - 4100) - 4000 to 4999 are reserved for PAUST.PNT (Header 4101 - 4107) - internal political borders.

(804) 428-4902 MWDB-POLY was produced, at GLOBAL ASSOCIATES, Ltd., from Charles Culberson's version of the MWDB II to give existing programs that use the normal flat file PNT/MAP format a closed polygon capability when producing a vector graphics file output.
