If you don't like that multi-map systax, there's at least two other options: 1) An executable or "program" map which supplies map information from whatever sources you want. 2) A file map where the file is actually a FIFO, and a server you've written to listen to that FIFO and return the map information from again wherever you want. (If you think about, they amount to essentially the same thing.) David S.
