<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;When I went to Bangladesh, a friend from the<br/>
&gt;boundaries database I am on showed maps (1:62500) of<br/>
&gt;the Bangladesh-India enclave area.  A possible<br/>
&gt;intersecting border (Binational quadripoints?) shows<br/>
&gt;up on one of the maps. <br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>wonderful<br/>
i sensed it might be there<br/>
<br/>
& i agree with you the term binational quadripoints is questionable<br/>
since  intersecting borders  are clearly what we are talking about<br/>
  in the case of baarle & bangladesh at least if not also jungholz<br/>
so i would also withdraw my tries of  mobius point  &  figure 8 point  in<br/>
favor of your more elegant idea here of  a simple  border intersection<br/>
point<br/>

&gt;Obviously better maps would<br/>
&gt;completely clear it up.  However, both countries<br/>
&gt;consider it a disputed area and do not publish<br/>
&gt;detailed maps.  For those interested, one of the maps<br/>
&gt;also show an Indian enclave within a Bangladeshi<br/>
&gt;enclave within an Indian enclave.  If true, it will be<br/>
&gt;the only enclave within an enclave within one in the<br/>
&gt;world.  I would like to visit the area next time I go<br/>
&gt;to my home country as it is only 10-20 miles from my<br/>
&gt;mother&#39;s birthplace. <br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>interested<br/>
are you kidding<br/>
that is totally awesome<br/>
& so for you personally it might be like the hole in the swiss cheese<br/>
peeking thru the middle of the bagel in the eye of the belly button<br/>
<br/>
<br/>

&gt;<br/>
&gt;I will try to get maps from my<br/>
&gt;friends, though I don&#39;t know how that will help as I<br/>
&gt;don&#39;t have a scanner.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>well if you & jane agree<br/>
we could bring her scanner to you next time we go to the city<br/>
<br/>
but maybe our computer whizzes could beat that idea<br/>
for i am sure this & your collection must be incredible & worth beaming up<br/>
if you would like that to happen<br/>
<br/>

&gt;<br/>
&gt;I have seen non-detailed maps where the tongue  in<br/>
&gt;Jungholz is shown wider than it is for cartographic<br/>
&gt;simplicity.  Could the 10-20 meter tongue as shown on<br/>
&gt;maps be cartographic simplicity?  I have no idea what<br/>
&gt;to call those points.  I actually thought most<br/>
&gt;boundary-makers would be smart to get rid of such<br/>
&gt;cartographic curiosities.<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>wow  so you seem to be saying i may yet have to eat my words of gigapology<br/>
several maps to the contrary notwithstanding<br/>
<br/>
well that would be fun too<br/>
<br/>
for we have had a chance to look at wusfripoints from both sides now<br/>
& we have learned well<br/>
the wus fried & the wus frier are one<br/>
