Comment:
No "tail -r" in Debian's version of it.
It is a shame that OSX doesn't have tac, it is an elegant solution to the
problem which I am hesitant to replace.
Can the Mac build provide a copy of tac somehow? (or just automatically
apply the 'tail -r' patches with your build..)
Does tac exist in Cygwin / Msys?
I think the NOAA coastline extractor webpage gives you an option to
download in "matlab" format. (??) anyway it is very simple, just 2 or 3
columns of numbers with arc-lines separated by 2 or 3 NaNs.
e.g. 2D:
{{{
NaN NaN
12.34 56.78
23.45 67.89
NaN NaN
}}}
For v.in.garmin I can provide gpstrans and gardump download text files if
needed. (I randomly just noticed that GpsDrive provides a Garmin download
tool called "garble" as well. hmph.)
