[gradsusr] Political boundaries in Europe

[jagabandhu panda]

Hi

    I think it is working when we can use the draw shp command with full
path to the corresponding extracted shp file. However, I found some
discripancies in the border of several places. So, I would be interested to
use the coast line data from NOAA available at: www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/coast
That could be extracted by setting appropriate lat/lon limit and would be
able to get in ASCII format. Could you say me how we can use that while
plotting (if possible). I would request other users also to help in this
direction and would be really thankful to you.

regards
Jagabandhu
