I hacked into map_continents.pro , and redirected the plots
to *my* ascii file. It looks good so far.
(I haven't tried to do anything w/it yet)

I used the low-res file for now, and it has ~8500 lat-lon points.

Here's what it looks like:

173.170 -35.3300
173.500 -35.6700
173.830 -36.0800

174.420 -36.9200
174.920 -37.0000
174.670 -37.2500

173.750 -39.3300
166.500 -45.9200
166.750 -46.1700
167.250 -46.2500
167.580 -46.1700
167.830 -46.4200
168.330 -46.5000
169.000 -46.6700
169.670 -46.5000
170.170 -46.2500
... ...

Thanks for the idea!
