This example is similar to the hurricane example,
except that it shows the typhoons in the pacific ocean.

I also change a few things, to show that the code is flexible - for example,
I put the labels for the longitude grid along the top, instead of along the
bottom.

One thing to note about the pacific typhoons - they don't seem to be as big
on "naming" them as the atlantic ones (or, maybe the names just don't translate
into english well :)

Also, in different parts of the globe they tend to measure the longitude 
either east, or west, from the gmt/zulu line, whichever direction makes
the longitude 'positive' (so they don't have to deal with all the negative
signs).  Therefore, you have to be conscious of this, and make sure that
your map outline coords, and the annotated long/lat values you're overlaying 
measured the longitude values in the same way (you might have to multiply one 
of the values by -1 to make them match).  Also, sas' "proc gproject" has an
"eastlong" option that is sometimes useful in this regard.


Similarly to the SAS/Intrnet dynamic version of the hurricane tracker,
here is the SAS/Intrnet version of the typhoon tracker (note that you can
only view this if you're on the internal sas web)...
