I have tried using the world database to which several contributors have
referred -- it is too large for some applications.  I wanted to prepare
a map of Eastern Canada to 0.1 degree resolution, and I ended up with
an incredible complex of many tens of thousands of points.  It really
takes a mainframe to do anything useful with this.  Does anyone know of
a low-resolution data base?

Also, does anyone know a data base with bathymetric data for Eastern
Canada, such as 100, 200 and 1000 m countours?
