[Geodata] GSHHS 1.6 Shapefiles

[Birgit Wessel]

Hi Martin,

I am looking for a latest version of GSHHS in closed polygons in shapefile
(ESRI).
So, how can I read your files? The extension is .b and not .shp, .shx, .dbx,
...
Are those really shapefiles or do I need the convertion tool you mention?

Thanks,
Birgit
