	I am looking for a map of the world (as detailed as possible) with in-
formation about the terrain of the point in question.  (Is is desert, forest,
plain, altitude, etc).  I have seen the political maps which use lines to 
represent borders between countries, but this is not what I am looking for.

	Is there anyone with a map of the world like I want?  (You could use
this to write an X program which shows daylight/nighttime in real time, etc.)

Thanks,
Jeff Young
