Well, it finally happened. Maybe some of you noticed it already. I guess I
should have realized it from the number of new messages and advertisements
I had read regarding SDTS translators, but now I know for certain.
The USGS Geographic Data site no longer provides data in the "DLG-3
Optional" format from their HTTP:// site. I checked my FTP client, where I
had the USGS FTP site entered, and the non-SDTS DLG format data is still
out there for 1:100K and 1:2M, but who knows how long it will be there.
I have a translator for DLG, but not one for SDTS. Some of you may be in
the same boat. So, if you expect to get some of their data, use logon as
anonymous with your FTP client to edcftp.cr.usgs.gov and look in
/pub/data/DLG/ before they take that away too. Otherwise, looks like a good
year to invest in data translation companies!
