----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I am following up the message from Irene Kumar to Mr. Winters ... (sorry I did not see the original question!). Basic locational information and a customized location map for each of some 320,000 geographical names as authorized by the Canadian Permanent Committee on Geographical Names can be found on our WWW site, as mentioned (http://www-nais.ccm.emr.ca/cgndb/geonames.html) Some PC and Mac users, although able to access our general descriptive information, have had difficulty with actual name queries through Mosaic. In our office we have just recently had excellent results using Mosaic Netscape 0.9beta from .. ftp://lark.cc.ukans.edu/Netscape. You might also find it worthwhile to check this out. Good luck! If you have technical questions about access to the Canadian Geo Names data or have requests for digital files you could contact: Paul O'Blenes, CGNDB Technical Services e-mail [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------------------------ Helen Kerfoot Exec.
