<div id="ygrps-yiv-891754982">Sorry to dissapoint, Michael, but it was a South Africa, Namibia Botswana <br/>
point. Not Zambia.<br/>
I used ZA for Zuid Afrika as the two letter abbreviation.<br/>
I think 3letter abbreviations are easier to understand, than the 2-letter <br/>
codes.<br/>
After all, New Zealand is commonly abvbreviated NZ, but on aircraft and <br/>
boats, the NZ letters are KZ. I don&#39;t know what Kazakhstan and Kirgyzia use!<br/>
There is no Bot/Nam/Zam tripoint..., probably, only a Bot/Nam/Zim/Zam <br/>
quad... probably.<br/>
<br/>
Iso 2 and 3 letter codes are:<br/>
S Africe   ZA   ZAF<br/>
Zambia     ZM   ZMB<br/>
Zimbabwe   ZW   ZWE<br/>
<br/>
aircraft codes: ZS, 9J, Z respectively<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
even ZMB *could* be ZimBabWe.<br/>
I would have used Zu/ZAF or Zui  ;  Za/Zam  ; Zi/Zim.<br/>
But no one asked me.<br/>
<br/>
For the record, Kyrgyzia and Kazak are Kg/Kgz and Kz/Kaz<br/>
New Zeland is NZ/NZL.<br/>
But the boat that won the Americas&#39; Cup for us was KZ-1, and an aircraft I <br/>
know is ZK-SEX. Both official codes for New Zealand.<br/>
