<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Steve. I visit the site you have posted and I
downloaded the lat/lon file for Italy. How can I use this file with the basemap
function of GRADS? How can I transform this file into a .asc file? Do you have
an application to do this?</FONT></DIV>

Although some of the political boundaries may be out of date, It provides a
downloadable lat-lon text file ("download points" option) which you could then
read into a GrADS application. If you have further questions, let me
know.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Steve Mc</FONT> <BR><BR><BR>
