I'm coping and printing DMA charts at a local print/copy shop on a large
format scanner for $4 a chart. Admittedly, it's in B/W and not waterproof
but I'm only going to use these chart copies for one season and that will
only be for back up to the Laptop..

The nice thing with this scanner printer system, is I can request the .tif
files from each chart scan, for use with Fugawi or etc.

My point, again, the chart data base is public domain or should be Anyone
should have access to it.. But I suspect that this is a 'sweet heart' deal
to encourage the chart agents to invest in the equipment.
