Yes I have the whole thing converted into CC2 format.  I took the big 
map, scanned a bitmap and traced the general outline of the world 
(polar caps etc) and then corrected the grid for a constant linear 
measurment on longitude and latitude lines.  I then imported bitmaps 
of the smaller regional maps, rescaled them to fit the general scale 
and traced then in all of their glory.  I even came up with a special 
catalog of symbols.  Later I added coloration for mountainous-rough 
regions, desert terrain and savanna.  I still intend to use the contour 
lines to create a colorized relief map (red for high points and blue 
for low points) as well as include a set of underwater contours or at 
least relief shading.  (I've been busy on other projects lately.)  If 
anyone wants a copy to play with, I can zip the file and attach it to 
a posting (its 512kb in size.)
