My brother spent sporadic parts of 5 years (1991-1996) drawing individual pages of what when is all put together make a map of a still extremely unfinished planet i refer to as "Alan's World". So far it has 23 pages, including all of the Northern Continent, all of the Southern Continent, the western edge of the Eastern Continent, and a disconnected glimpse of part of the Far West Continent (the names of whose countries neither of us can remember at all how to pronounce). One day i went through the maps and made a list of all the names - including a few doubles, it added up to 190 names. A lot of the names have semi-inconsistantly used diacritics. -Stephen (Steg) ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
