Hi all-

This email I was cc'ed on stimulated some discussion and resulted in a 
few changes you should take note of:

1. I noticed the README.TXT on our ftp server had not been updated when 
3.2.1 was released on 7/1/2014; now done.
2. Do NOT use gshhs_1.13_src.zip for getting gshhg.h since this is 
obsolete code.  I have cleaned up that ftp dir and placed older versions 
under a legacy directory.
3. Do instead obtain the better documented and revised gshhg.h include 
file from the link on the gshhg web site or that ftp directory.  I just 
updated those files.

Let me know if there are any issues or questions.

Cheers, Paul Wessel
