&gt; or is it mainly improved data that calls for a new edition<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Improved information - the first ed. was always going to be something <br/>
of a ranging shot, and it put me in contact with lots of people who <br/>
were expert in particular areas.<br/>

Bolivia               Brazil/Paraguay<br/>
Botswana              Zimbabwe/South Africa<br/>
Burundi               Dem. Rep. of Congo/Tanzania<br/>
Central African Rep.  Congo/Dem. Rep. of Congo<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; & are you aware of any other highpoint tripoints than chfrit<br/>
 </span></blockquote>That one isn&#39;t a highpoint, though - there are higher mountains than <br/>
Mont Dolent in all three countries.<br/>
There are four imprecise highpoint tripoints:<br/>
<br/>
Country:      Highpoint:       Tripoint with:<br/>
El Salvador   Montecristo      Guatemala/Honduras<br/>
Guyana        Roraima          Brazil/Venezuela<br/>
Mongolia      Kujten-Uul       China/Russia (West)<br/>
Netherlands   Vaalserberg      Belgium/Germany<br/>
<br/>
For Roraima and the Vaalserberg, I know that the tripoint is close to <br/>
the summit, but not on it. For Montecristo, the tripoint seems to be <br/>
poorly defined, and for Kujten-Uul, I don&#39;t have any information <br/>
apart from that the tripoint is &quot;on the mountain&quot;.<br/>
