- WORLDDIG.ZIP 644436 01-30-94 The World Digitized is a collection of more
- | than 100,000 points of latitude and
- | longitude. When connected together, these
- | co-ordinates form outlines of the entire
- | world's coastlands, islands, lakes, and
- | national boundaries in surprising detail. The
- | philosophy adopted in making The World
- | Digitized available to the public is that the
- | exercise of ones own creativity and
- | imagination is much more interesting and
- | profitable than the acquisition of a fixed
- | program. The World Digitized is, therefore,
- | simply a raw data base sprinkled with a few
- | suggestions to be used as jumping off points
- | in your personal quest to create significant
- | and dazzling programs. (Reg.Fee: $0)
