There are two maps on ucsd.edu for anonymous ftp.  They are in
~ftp/graphics.  The first is called worldmap.NA, it is about 400K, and
I'm not sure what format it's in.

The other is called WorldMap.tar.Z, it is over 13 Meg when unpacked, and
it consists of a series of files each of which contains several thousand
"segments", each composed of several "strokes".  There is also a header,
and a segment dictionary at the beginning of each file.  This is the
complete CIA World Bank II.
