&gt;Mike -<br/>
&gt;I didn&#39;t actually try to intimitate that neutral zones<br/>
&gt;and joint zones or condominiums are the same. <br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>no<br/>
i understand & didnt mean to pin that on you<br/>
<br/>
i do think joint & condo zones are essentially identical for tri pointing<br/>
purposes tho<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;<br/>
&gt;Neutral<br/>
&gt;zones are much rarer if any truly exists. <br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>right<br/>
there is only one maritime example i have heard of<br/>
iran & saudi arabia<br/>
& perhaps none on dry land any more<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;<br/>
&gt;However, as<br/>
&gt;Mats wanted to know about them both, I wrote all<br/>
&gt;examples I could find.  The descriptions should have<br/>
&gt;shown what kind they were.  Some condominiums are<br/>
&gt;neutral zones in terms of army presence which further<br/>
&gt;complicates matters.<br/>
&gt;By the way, I was looking through stuff I had and I<br/>
&gt;found out that Brazil-Argentina-Uruguay tripoint is<br/>
&gt;still in dispute due to disputed sovereignty in an<br/>
&gt;island.  How many other tripoints are disputed?<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>wish i knew the real answer<br/>
<br/>
the truth is we have found almost no data on the majority of them<br/>
which is what makes the hunt so interesting for me personally<br/>
<br/>
boundary & enclave data  rare & wonderful as they are  often seem abundant<br/>
by comparison<br/>
but there is no point comparing<br/>
since it is the combination of these that is so much fun<br/>
<br/>
to answer your question as well as i can tho<br/>
it does appear that disputed tripoints are most common in africa & asia<br/>
perhaps running in the 10 or 20 percent range there<br/>
meaning a few dozen for the worldwide land total just as a wild guess<br/>
<br/>
by comparison<br/>
in the oceans a great many tripoints are still uncertain<br/>
probably nearly all in fact<br/>
