i probably ought to direct this to mr. campbell directly, but being
lazy i'll broadcast to comp.sys.atari.st. i am interested in the
above-mentioned MWDB. is it a commercial (for-pay) database, or
public domain data, or what? how large is it? what regions does it
cover? (North America, entire earth, ...?) what kind of resolution?
and the most important question... how can i get it?
any info would be greatly appreciated.
