     This italy database comes from the NUTS III (Tertiary
     Administrative Units of the European Community) database of the
     United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) GRID-Geneva data sets.
     These were prepared around 1989, and so may be somewhat out of
     date.

     Users of data sets supplied through UNEP/GRID are requested to
     incorporate in output products and reports acknowledgements to the
     originator of the data and to the fact that they were acquired
     through UNEP/GRID. Appropriate wording may be "UNESCO (1987)
     through UNEP/GRID-Geneva".

_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     The data file is merely an assignment to a character string which
     specifies the name of an environment variable which contains the
     base location of the binary files used by the map drawing
     functions. This environment variable ('R_MAP_DATA_DIR' for the
     datasets in the maps package) is set at package load time _if it
     does not already exist_. Hence setting the environment variable
     before loading the package can override the default location of
     the binary datasets.
