        I am wondering how the OMNI Gazetteer of the U.S. relates to
the GNIS CD - is it derived from the same database? Does it have more
indexing than GNIS will have ? Have people found it useful ? For those
of us who spent big bucks to buy it - will we also want to buy the
GNIS CD ?    Any comments on this ?   Joan Winearls
