[Xastir] maps

[Kent Noonan]

Hello...
I have some temporary space and have put my shapefile's I downloaded from esri and put up for ftp. I have all states and the county awips. If I remember correctly I have the roads, water, urban areas and rails.. maybe some more but I'm drawing a blank right now. I also have a perl script that I wrote before dbfawk was put in that sets the layers and fill to the way I like it. I don't know if anyone will want this, but it is there, at least temporarily.. Please be kind, files are anywhere in size from 724K to 214M 

ftp://test.nkcsd.k12.mo.us/xastir

I'm not sure how long I will be able to leave them here, but if I have to remove it I can probably come up with a different place to put them. So if anyone want's to share other files, let me know if I should work on the more permanent location..
