[R] Arc/INFO format with R? (fwd)

[Jonathan.Yuen@evp.slu.se]

Hello All,

I have used that DCW data at PSU before, and one option (at that time) was
to download ascii files with the lat/lon point pairs for each of the
polygons for each country.  The format was fairly easy to read (into SAS).

I just looked at the page again but I was unable to download the ascii
files.  I don't know if this is a 'temporary' bug or a feature.  You
should also know that the russian data is already projected (Lambert, I
believe...).

It was LOT cheaper to use that data and make my own swedish map with RT 90
coordinates instead of licensing the data from Swedish Land Survey.
