Talking about this one, the information about the data is quite sparse.
As all (?) of the CIA data were put into public domain, is there anywhere
one can get ones hand on more precise data, for specific parts of the earth
(f.ex. a state in america, or, in my case, Denmark.) I understood, that
the wdb data are cooked down to match small computers, but with a harddisk,
or only wanting to look at a small part of the world, are more of these data
available for ftp or something like that? This should be of interest to a
lot of people!
(In the 1.06 MB file, Denmark still looks quite "rough").
