Dear Louis,
Thanks very much for this information.
You remind me of a story I heard of a poet (name forgotten) who found
himself in a Master of Business Administration program at Harvard. He said
the experience was like wanting a sip of water to moisten his throat and
they supplied him with a high-pressure fire hose (of information).
However, that said, I enjoyed reading the web page you supplied � it was
fascinating but I couldn't figure out this reference:
X coordinate (m) : +4203644 (m)
Y coordinate (m) : +162934 (m)
Z coordinate (m) : +4778193 (m)
In particular, where is the datum for these numbers?
Do you know what these numbers mean?
Cheers,
