Hello, I am a first-time user of matplotlib.

When trying to run the plotmap.py example, the following traceback is 
generated:

 >plotmap.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "C:\Documents and Settings\jim.vickroy\My 
Documents\Projects\High-latitudes D-region\plotmap.py", line 13, in 
<module>
   topoin = load('etopo20data.gz')
 File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mlab.py", line 1252, in 
load
   fh = cbook.to_filehandle(fname)
 File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\cbook.py", line 236, in 
to_filehandle
   fh = gzip.open(fname, flag)
 File "C:\Python25\lib\gzip.py", line 49, in open
   return GzipFile(filename, mode, compresslevel)
 File "C:\Python25\lib\gzip.py", line 95, in __init__
   fileobj = self.myfileobj = __builtin__.open(filename, mode or 'rb')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'etopo20data.gz'

How do I obtain this file and where should it reside?

I have downloaded proj446_win32_bin.zip and unzipped it, but I do not 
see any such file.

I have also attempted to search this user-group archive for references 
to "etopo20data.gz" but repeatedly get an "Unable to connect to Search 
Server" error so I do not know what I'm doing incorrectly.

I have installed:
- matplotlib-0.91.2.win32-py2.5.exe
- basemap-0.9.9.1.win32-py2.5.exe
- httplib2-0.4.0.zip
for use with Python 2.5.1.

I apologize if this has been previously addressed.

Thanks,
-- jv
