Is there a visual difference to the quality between JPG and PNG in this case?
We could always offer the option of a separate download for those who would
prefer a copy of the higher detailed map.
Just a though,
Iain.

OK, that is quite a long time. Pushed the JPEG revisions to the repository.
I'll
do the same with the Grey Star illustrations later. I'm quite focussed on
getting all the illustrations present and correct.
Thanks for the help and feedback--it's always appreciated. :-)
