Everyone!

Thanks for the response -- I must've got <sheesh!> about 20 replies.
Someone sent me a most excellent uu-encoded gif that is just what
we were looking for.  The county lines are solid; this permits us to
use any paint program to "color in" the counties based on the values
of different parameters.

If anyone would like a copy of this, in either uue (ascii) or gif
(binary) format; let me know.  In fact; I'll just stick 'em in my
anon FTP directory and y'all can snarf 'em.  Try:

  ftp://hayes.tamu.edu/

This should get you to the C:\FTP directory, where you should find

   texas.gif
   texas.uue

along with some other stuff.

Enjoy; and thanks, again!

Pat
