where does basemap find the datafiles?

[Jennifer Adams]

The path to the .asc files is set in the script itself. Take a look
at line 90 or so ...

* Set the polygon data files
if (type = 'L' | type = 'l')
   if (lowres); file = '/<your_path_here>/lpoly_lowres.asc'; endif
   if (mres)  ; file = '/<your_path_here>/lpoly_mres.asc'  ; endif
   if (hires) ; file = '/<your_path_here>/lpoly_hires.asc' ; endif
endif
if (type = 'O' | type = 'o')
   if (lowres); file = '/<your_path_here>/opoly_lowres.asc'; endif
   if (mres)  ; file = '/<your_path_here>/opoly_mres.asc'  ; endif
   if (hires) ; file = '/<your_path_here>/opoly_hires.asc' ; endif
endif
