- Extensive (well not very) research indicates that for the greyscale
- images I post, gif is better than jpeg. Coloured images are unlikely
- in the near future (this is due to the scanner, not me), so I will
- continue to post gifs.
-
- More importantly, which map do you want next? I can do any map from
- the Malloreon or the Elenium, but earlier or later maps give me
- problems (I don't have the books with me).
-
- E-mail me with your requests (I read news every day, but it can take
- several days for news to get here from some sites. Email is buch
- better). I will choose one (or several if I have time) and post
- it/them.

- Donal.
