[GRASSLIST:8539] Re: gshhs

[Ian MacMillan]

Ed, I have had trouble with this data set as well.  I think I just 
converted my gshhs vector data from my GRASS 5.x database to GRASS 6.0 
format.  I think it is something to do with the global nature of the 
data (some lines cross the -180 longitude line, or something like 
that).

If you figure something out with this, let us know.  You could try to 
use something like the Digital Chart of the World (DCW) data.  It is 
available from here:

What happens if a big asteroid hits Earth? Judging from realistic 
simulations involving a sledge hammer and a common laboratory frog, we 
can assume it will be pretty bad.
