All,

Just a heads-up, we (UW-Madison) will also be broadcasting via the IDD
the gzip'd postscript files for all of these maps that we are making
locally using the above mentioned scripts. I'm trying to get things set
up now, and a few sites have expressed interest in helping me to test it
all out.

I'll let everyone know when it is up and running, and include info
on how to get the maps, what's included, etc.

Pete
