[Vis5d-users] Readglobe

Dear Vis5d users,
	I have written a C program that converts the global ~1 Km
elevation dataset known as "GLOBE"
	(http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/seg/topo/globe.shtml)
to the vis5d topography format on an arbitrary area of the world. Since I
have noticed this is a common problem, I decided to release the program to
the public. If you are interested, you can download it from the grib2v5d
download area:

	http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=14299
	
Please read the instruction in the README and in the Makefile files before
compiling. Notice that, in order to appreciate the increase in the
topography resolution, you may have to run vis5d with the -hirestopo
option. If you think the program is useful it could be included in
vis5d distribution.
	best wishes, Davide
