Hi Paul,

I just started to use OSM coastlines. I used to use GSHHS for land masking 
purposes.

I've an issue here. I'd like to have complete polygons of coastlines (not split) 
using WGS84 projection (lat-long), like the one from 
http://openstreetmapdata.com/info/formats#shapefile (it has issue of missing some 
large island around Singapore). Migurski's unprojected coastline extracts are 
divided and not updated since July 1, but I can read.

So far, I cannot read the file processed-p downloaded from your site. Could you 
give me some pointers on this?

Thanks a lot,
