<RTE_TEXT>Hello,<BR>
I just downloaded the latest version of the gshhs_* shapefiles, version 1.6, since this latest version uses polygons (the previous versions used 'lines') and can be used to do filled, hi-res basemaps.<BR>
<BR>
here's the url to the latest versions:<BR>
<A href="ftp://ftp.ihg.uni-duisburg.de/GIS/GISData/GSHHS/"><FONT color=#810081><EM>ftp://ftp.ihg.uni-duisburg.de/GIS/GISData/GSHHS/</EM></FONT></A><BR>
<BR>
I've tried plotting the gshhs_land.shp file in opengrads 1.9 on both windows&linux, and this shapefile is crashing grads in both cases.<BR>
the gshhs_lakes.shp file works fine, but the land file crashes.<BR>
can anyone else please test&confirm this?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
