Andrew,

I put a compressed tar file called us_map.tar.Z on our ftp server
(129.229.20.254) under the /grass/incoming directory. It is a latlon map
of the U.S. and it is in Platte Carree projection.  The tar file contents
are:

/dig/us_map
/dig_att/us_map
/dig/di_plus


You can change the projection of this map using Proj4.0 (or 4.1).
If you use ArcInfo, the U.S. map may also be available off of ESRI's
home page.  I'm not sure of that though. Don't forget to download the file
in the binary ftp mode.  Sorry that I don't have Canada's borders though.
