test dbf data set

This data set has three columns, STATE_NAME (string), WHITE (floating point),
BLACK (floating point). There are 49 row entries, corrisponding to the
contiguous 48 states plus Washington DC.

I did by best to make attachments, but I'm not sure I did it right. Let me know
if I need to try again.
Comment 7 Morten Welinder 2005-02-07 19:57:46 UTC 
I see this too.  (And loading the .dbf file in an editor shows that there really
are fractional values in the file.)
Comment 8 Morten Welinder 2005-02-07 20:05:31 UTC 
Fixed in cvs.
