thanx dear naanu<br/>
this is easily the most detailed map we have seen of this area<br/>
<br/>
a 1993 cia map of the same area shows a few slightly different <br/>

<br/>
& i imagine some real changes must occur there too<br/>
<br/>
but i wonder if there isnt a definitive version available <br/>
somewhere<br/>
from which we might extract reliable uae tripoint positions<br/>
<br/>
it looks like there may even be a megapoint or 2 in there<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
also about the recent pix <br/>
i found i couldnt unzip in this area<br/>
so i wonder if you or anyone might retransmit any of these<br/>
even if just the highest highlights <br/>
for those few of us who may still be zip challenged<br/>

<br/>
2<br/>
is it an abbreviation or acronym<br/>

3<br/>
if so<br/>
is it an english abbreviation or acronym<br/>
<br/>
4<br/>
if not<br/>
is it a transliteration of an arabic abbreviation or acronym<br/>
<br/>
5<br/>
if not<br/>
is it an abbreviation or acronym from some other language<br/>
<br/>
6<br/>
is it ever rearranged or written backwards<br/>
<br/>
well i seem to be slowing down already<br/>
<br/>
anyway<br/>
to be continued i hope<br/>
<br/>
