3.2: What is the Vector Product Format and where can I get information? (Geographic Information Systems)
From: tjmisek@hou.amoco.com (Thomas Misek)
The document that lists the format & form of the Vector Product Format
is:
Military Standard
MIL-STD-600006
30 September 1993
This 200+ page document has a complete description of the format.
[old address deleted - new address from newcomb@navo.navy.mil (Donald
R. Newcomb)]
The correct address for the public to request any MIL-STD is:
Naval Publications & Forms Center
Code 3051
5801 Tabot Ave.
Philadelphia, PA 19120
Phone: (215) 697-2000
This is DoD's central supply house for MIL-STDs. They are, by the way,
all free to US addresses.

Since the VPF has been created as a means for transmitting digital
geographic databases, I, for one, would be interested in any programs
that make use of the format.
