[Xastir] TIGER/Line files --- End of an Era

[Tom Russo]

I just surfed over to the Census web site and see this:

http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/future/future_tl.html

It says that after the 2006 Second Edition files are released (which happened
a few weeks ago), they will no longer be producing TIGER/Line files, they'll be 
replaced by a number of different file formats including shapefiles.  Looks 
like a big win for xastir users!
