Glad to know that some people are using those .geos I produced.  I 
thought maybe I was the only one.  There are actually some additional 
.geos from the ridge stuff that I have considered adding to that 
collection.

In addition there are static maps such as highways, topo, rivers, city, 
county, etc... from the NWS ridge stuff that I use. I did not put these 
static maps or their geos into the original collection because I thought 
that it was somewhat wastefull of NWS network bandwidth to have people 
fetching them over and over again.  I also was not sure of what the copy 
rights on them may be (so i did not want to distribute actual copies and 
the map themselves).  Maybe the best way to make them available is to 
include a script that would do one time wgets to fetch them.

73,
