Liz,
I have downloaded a flle set for Sydney with no issues.
I am currently in the process of rewriting my copy of the dbfawk files to read
the 2012 release of the TIGERmaps here in the United States. When I get them
fleshed out, I will be submitting them to the group for testing purposes.

You will have to edit the file in a GIS program, such as Quantum GIS.
There may be structure links in the file that should not be there or the
conversion went wonky. I have some shapefiles that I have had to go in and
clean up as the labels were in the wrong places.

This may be a bit OT but beneficial to the weather spotters that use Xastir.
We have a windfarm site that gets into the base sweep of the NEXRAD
radar and puts up a patch that looks like a localized shower/storm

I run QGIS and that would not be the proper way to do it. The ogr2ogr

I use QGIS for putting in updates and changes to my local shapefiles.

1) Can you run festival interactively, that is give it a text line and
have it speak?
2) If so, then run, in a console window, "festival --server". This puts
festival in server mode and should speak.
But first, you have to make sure that festival works properly on your boxen.

Keith / Gents,
I am at work and away from my machine.
When I get home, I will post my .dbfawks, file structures, and layer setups.
Also, if you want to snoop at the shapefiles, get "qgis" and work with that.

Keith,
The limits are in edges.dbfawk.
Mess with S11(freeway), S12(primary), S14(secondary). You will have to tweak
display_level and label_level.

Tom,
I may not be flexible enough but I kicketh myself in the butt.
I had my original .dbfawk file in the config directory and when I put in
the CVS version, pointlm.dbfawk was put in and the two were fighting.

All,
I suggest that you go and read the following document,
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/tgrshp2008/TGRSHP08.pdf, and decide for
yourself what you want to keep or not.
This is the master document defining the TIGER 2008 map set. Yes, it is a long
dry read but a necessary document for t
The last time I did a save of all the tiger maps for a year it took 6 DVD's and
that is the zip files!
What I need to see is if BigBox (my three-eyed monster) has on it 2007 or 2008.
I know that I had sent a copy of the DVD's to Gerry Creager to put up on his
machine but I can't remember if it
There are two levels that this works at, one is in the Map Chooser and
the min/max zoom level and the other is in the .dbfawk file itself.
Map Chooser is good for not displaying, lets say "edges", when you are
zoomed out and worried about counties only. The tweaks in the .dbfawk
file are good
Gents,
If I remember correctly, they come from the POINTLM shapefile.
And, yes, they mean different things to the cartographers that laid out
the maps in the first place. I have several subdivisions in one county
where there is an "x" marking the end of each cul-de-sac. Others are for

Chip,
When I did my rewrite of the dbfawk files to match the latest tigermaps,
I was dealing with several documents that the census document wrote
involving the translation between the old codes and new codes for what

So far, so good on the .dbfawk files.

A tidbit about the NWS maps. Their update rates can vary depend upon
prevalent weather concerns. Calm wx and the update rates are actually
longer and I think 5 minutes is the current high speed update rate.

and some termina
Another directory that is good to grab are the county.zip file for each
state.
Also, depending on your needs and display(s), I would set the dbfawk
files to turn off some features based on zoom level let alone the screen
being supercluttered.

One yank here is that there is no consistency in the Tiger2008 files in
terms of accuracy, quantity of information or the quality of
information. So one county may be loaded with details down to the length
of the gnat's whiskers on the local street corner and other ones may
look as barren as th
