I have a feeling you may be using an 'ATI' graphics card as I experienced
exactly the same problem. All you need to do is go into Control Panel, select

there is a slide bar

What you are looking for is a Military State Secret. Export of such large-
scale maps and topographic information is treason in the Republic of Taiwan. I
would think it unlikely that you will be able to access such data, even while

Dear Listers,
I am wondering if any knows how I can get data for
Central America. I am specifically interested in
Costa Rica and Panama. However, I would still be
interested in other countries as well. It doesn't
matter what type or file format. Have a good
Weekend!

There is a new feature in MI Pro 6.0 called Objects Enclose which may help.
It will take a set of polylines, and produce a set of regions. Each
polyline need not form a closed object. The feature will take some set of
polylines (e.g., 3 or 4 polylines) and produce a region object
Oh I don't know, we Canadians have "a major nuclear power (with missiles)
next door that tends to rattle sabres", and we're still pretty free with our
geographic data :)

It has, in fact, rather little to do with missiles. Rather, this is
'normal' for a country where all mapping is in the hands of the military.
Somehow the jacks in uniform imagine that keeping 'walking around type

I thought North Hollywood, CA was below the 49th parallel?
And there is a major missile rattling venue right up the road from here.

Hi All!

Mike,
In order to do this you need two things. First, Acrobat REader v4.0. 3.x
will not work. Second you need the Acrobat SDK which you can get on Adobe's
