The data is either in shapefile or in gridfile format. Files have been compressed using the ZIP format. The data are not projected (i.e., in latitude/longitude). The maps appear as graphics files (GIF) that can be copied and pasted into another application."

    • "This web site will allow you to download the boundaries and layers of different countries, in Arc/INFO export format, from ESRI's Digital Chart of the World data set. Our mapping function will give you a preview of the data. The entire data set is also available, on CD-ROM, at the Pennsylvania State University's Maps Library or from ESRI."
    • NOTICE: THIS DATABASE IS NOT UP TO DATE. This database was developed in 1991/1992 and national boundaries reflect political reality as of that time. Modern country names and boundaries have not been added and their omission does not indicate support or non-support of any nation.
