[ncl-talk] Country names in mask_specs

[Zilore Mumba]

Thanks Rick. "central african republic" works without dashes. I am only
remaining with congo dr. I tried "democratic republic of congo", "congo
democratic republic". Both do not work.   I will use a plot without
masking.. just for interest, the script used is attached.
