Thanks, Henry, you found my mistake. I've corrected the links to the Sept 1983 maps and verified that the date in the map is September.  Would you please rerun that one? :) The extra icons in the legend are nice! Yes, I agree doing this on a plotter would be better. I recall Brian Reid doing just that as a product demo of an HP plotter at one Usenix. I had such a poster, I was going to bring it this week but I can't find it. Now I know where he got his data...
