Hey Stephen, 
	
	I'd love to see that mercator of earth!  Read I'd love to HAVE 
that mercator of earth.  In despair at my lack of earth pics, I opted for 
a mandelbrot pic, to applique into a planet object for a spot I'm working 
on.  Came out cool, but it ain't terra.  

	Would it be possible for you to uuencode that terra pic and email 
it out?  I'd be eternally grape-leaved.
