Interesting discussions so far. I'm particularly interested in what might come out of the contact Gerry mentioned... Anyway, on the topic of .dbfawk's, I've thrown together a few for the river, lake, ocean and ice portions of the BC maps you linked to. I also took the one that James posted for the Geobase.ca road maps and hacked at it a bit. My goal was to make them look the same as the Tiger road maps, and that's pretty much what it does, although it doesn't correctly set the street labels yet. It might only work with the ON map, as that's the one I'm working with (going by James' call, his was probably based on the headers for the AB map). Since I don't know if this list passes attachments, I'll just paste them inline at the bottom of this post. -Joe, N8FQ On Fri, 21 Sep 2007 09:05:09 -0700 Mike Fenske <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Joe.
