[OpenMap Users] Re: Vmap2shape help.

I did not figure this out in Openmap. As far as I can tell openmaps VPF
layer is lacking a lot of functionality you'd want. After you select
the coverage etc you still often want to prune the data set. For
example the political boundary layer contains both states (1st order)
and countries... These should be rendered differently in most cases...
I never figured out how to get this to happen in Openmaps VPF layer...
so I am guessing that the conversion tools have the same limits though I
never got very far with them due to lack of docs.

I am using the NIMA muse tools. I tried a quick and dirty hack to get
them on Linux I got it compiling, but not working. I have access to a
few Suns so I decided to just run the binaries. These tools are doing
exactly what I want. If you need any help on em give a shout.
