Still I'm hardly complaining about all this good free stuff that NOAA has made available. Evan Gatehouse |

format yet, as well as a few other oceans (Indian I think?) Screw .pdf, I hope they make plain graphics files avail also (YMMV). Yes we are blessed to have this stuff furnished this way. Do you have any idea what I paid for hardcopies of Bowditch & the HO pubs in 1965 as textbooks - even with a MARAD subsidy involved? I wonder when we get to d/l the free new $3,000 sextant. :-) |

If you want the data in another format, there are many utilities that will export for you, although for this task, pdf is good. -- Jim Richardson http://www.eskimo.com/~warlock Who was the sick-minded SOB who called it a "lisp"?
