River data wanted

[andrew.macintyre at aba.gov.au]

Its not free, but the Digital Chart of the World is inexpensive (US$150 IIRC).

The data is in Vector Product Format (VPF), comes on 4 CDs, and includes documentation and some DOS programs and C code for using the data.

There are some copyright/licensing issues on some of the data (UK, New Zealand & Australia).

I think it was put together by the USGS in the early 90s.  In Australia this is available from AUSLIG; have no idea about European distribution.

Hi.

I'm looking for a "rivers of the world" scale data set, something for
students to use, i.e. low-resolution is fine.  Are there any free 
on-line sources?

Adios,
Chris
