Scarletto <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Folks, Suppose one wanted to do a mapping of the regional divisions of the world from the LC call number range: ie, West Africa (G8700+), Eastern Africa, etc. I don't need the boundaries for each country, just these divisions. Does anyone know of a source for shape files (for Arc products) that could define the world this way? for use in a GIS?
