I forgot to mention on my previous email that the coastline files I use
are not set up as "closed figures" and thus may not function with some
clipping functions.  This brings up a second set of questions:

1. the above mentions a clipping program source but no source for the
	coastline data source.  What data source was used?  A url?

2. Does the source file(s) include political boundaries?  Current?

3. Anyone know of current "erosion" programs?  Programs that remove
	points from a coastline file based on the complexity of the
	coastline itself.  15 years ago I had a couple of reasonable
	procedures but have since lost them.

Thanks.
