<br>
I assume you downloaded the Zip file (142Mb) and found it was a
high-res raster scan. I don't think they have any vector data in
their archive.<br>
You would have to check with the Project Sponsor CARE Tanzania or
the author HTS (I assume Hunting Technical Services) for the
original GIS files if they exist, I am not familiar with this set
of maps.<br>

<p>A good tip Mike! Seems like some of the maps are based on
shapefiles - even the ones from 1990. I am interested in finding
shapefiles for roads from these maps. For example this one:</p>

All,<br>
<br>
Just come across a fascinating archive of downloadable maps and
reports for Tanzania from the World Soil Survey Archive and
Catalogue (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.wossac.com/index.cfm">WOSSAC</a>) that may be
of interest to some.<br>
<br>
<strong>To find what is there just do a separate SEARCH for
Tanzania, Tanganyika or maybe just your area of interest if
you are lucky.</strong><br>
<br>
The search will find Scanned Soil and Land Use maps, reports and
surveys for Tanzania with scanning and digital capture of the
material, comprised 215 maps and 180 reports. Most of it seems
to be pre-2000 including some of the 1996 Huntings Land Cover
& Land Use 1:250,000 maps, national atlas sheets etc -
scanning is at 400dpi some maps are geo-referencing (1996
Hunting maps) some maps are not.<br>
<br>
A useful overview of the material can be found here: <a

<br>
I haven't checked yet but some of the maps, but not the reports,
may have already appeared on the Eurosoils website which also
has a huge scanned archive:<br>
