Would you be interested in a data set from the Digital Chart of the World?
I can give you any lines, points or text in either MapInfo, DXF or ASCII
for Egypt. This coverage is derived from the 1:1,000,000 scale Operational
Navigational Chart series.  It would be a good beta test of this software
I'm putting together at any rate if you can use this.  I'd be happy to help;
your input into GIS-L and here over the last few years has certainly helped
and entertained me (and others, no doubt).  I'd be honored.
 
If you can use DCW data, let me know.  I maintain the COGS (Computer
Oriented Geological Society) ftp site at csn.org, and so I can post this
there for you.
