The WORLD DIGITIZED is a compilation of more than 100,000 points of
latitude and longitude that form the outlines of the entire world's
coastlands, islands, lakes, and national boundaries in great detail.
The data is organized by continent. Disk 494 is required to expand the
data to ASCII and also contains Africa, Antarctica, Australia, and South
America. Disk 495 contains Asia and Europe. 496 contains North
America
and Greenland.
As distributed it is a pure database and has no programs to display the
data. The basic display disk is made available to those who register.
It contains two display programs: a user-modifiable BASIC version and a
more advanced windowing version written in C and requiring a mouse. It
also contains programs to reduce the number of data points and to
transform the data for Mercator projection.
It really is a small world and now you can have it all.

The World Digitized is a collection of more than 100,000 points of latitude and
longitude. When connected together, these co-ordinates form outlines of the
entire world's coastlands, islands, lakes, and national boundaries in surprising
detail.
The World Digitized is a pure data base and as such contains no programs to
display the data. Because many would like a starter display program to customize
with their own ideas, The World Digitized Basic Display Disk is made available
to those who register their copy of The World Digitized. (See the REGSTRTN.LTR
file.)
