As an example of GMT and a map George was sort of looking for, here is
the result of the command:
 
'pscoast -R290/360/30/60 -JM6i -P -B5g5 -Gblack > map.ps'

which I ran on my Linux box (Ubuntu). This outputs a postscript file
which I converted to pdf with 'ps2pdf map.ps' and is attached.

Output formats, colour, pen widths, annotations, legends, scales, etc
are all configurable so George could fiddle with this to get the exact
output that he wants.

Rgds,

Martin
