This directory contains a set of AVS geometries (in ASCII format) which represent
different aspects of world geometry.  The six files contain polyline representations
of:

	boundaries.gtxt: coastlines
	countries.gtxt: political boundaries
	islands.gtxt: 	coastlines for smallish islands
	lakes.gtxt:     lakes
	rivers.gtxt:	rivers
	statest.gtxt:   US state boundaries

	globe.obj:  	AVS object file which reads in and colors all the geometries.

This is pretty low resolution and wire frame only,  but can be useful for many
demonstrations.  The scale is -1.0 to 1.0 in each X, Y, and Z.  You may need to 
apply some other scale if you want it in meters, miles, etc.

Have fun,
