I once had a 'product announcement' from the CIA (serious) that
their map data base was/is available on a cost only basis. If I remember
correctly it is the largest geographical database in the world. It
was something like a half dozen 10.5" magtapes in size (Don't
remember if that was 800 or 1600 BPI).

Can anyone out there in netland confirm this, and if still available
how can it be obtained.

Talking about cost-only/Tax-payer paid software. How can NASA charge
so much for their software ?
