Simon,
There is indeed a newer 5' global coverage available from NGDC. The
contact is Lee Row. His phone is 303-4976764, and his email is
lwr@mail.ngdc.noaa.gov. I believe he may still be on vacation.

Can you now give me more info on TerrainBase? I have the ngdc "Global
Relief" CDRom with etopo5 and I thought that was about the best available
at a close to zero cost. If ngdc have now released an improvement I would
like to acquire it.Cheers
