ok i finally got thru there
but the bigger drawback is that the contents of each file are
fragmented into thousands & thousands of individual pieces
yikes
& are apparently not very well subdivided or summarized nor even
indexed so far as i have yet been able to determine

so i cant help but to gather here again that you may only have
presumed that there was something accessible & of real help here
but that finding it may not actually be very easy

& the library is about to close besides
so i probably wont be venturing any farther into this area of your
possible presumption anytime soon
tho i grant it may yet prove pertinent & fruitful to the search for a
monumented texas termegapt

& frankly at this point your suggestion to examine the usgs topos for
all 33 texas termegapts would have made more sense if i had had the
time
so i am glad & very grateful that you are on that
