Me neither but I have used DIMECO (dual independent map encoding I
think) before and recently came across USGS DLG format for US
Geological Survey map data.  We're working with some of their data in
a project and have to read the stuff.  I hacked out a primitive reader
but thought I'd see if anyone's already done this before.  Anybody
have a reader for USGS DLG data??
