It comes on 4 CDROMs and can be obtained from your local USGS map dealer for $100 or something. It also runs under WinNT, however you'll need additional software in order to visualize the map content. It's called NIMAMUSE (National Imagery and Mapping Agency Mapping, Charting & Geodesy Software Environment) and can be downloaded from the NIMA's web site (www.nima.mil) at no cost. If you're using ArcInfo or ArcView in your library there's also a version of VMAP0 designed specifically to meet the needs of ArcInfo users. It's called DCW (Digital Chart of the World) and is available from ESRI for $300 or so. Thanks, Michael Okonek At 15:45 99-11-22 -0500, you wrote: >Thank you for your speedy reply.
