- Well what you need is a color scanner and then a color laser printer or a color
- printer of good enough quality.. You scan the maps available, then using a
- editor which can be found afew places, commercial or otherwise and edit the
- maps the way you want.. It owuld be nice if someone would write a graphic
- sprogram that would allow for moving of terrain features on that map.. Might
- try to get some map programs from a SIMTEL20 site.. I kow the programs have a
- code name, but I know some of the names of the programs after you unzip them.
- like 520-??? is a core test program..
