Ken: Did you not read my message (posted first directly to the inquirer Russell
Guy of Omni, then repeated - if I did the right technological thing - to the
whole Maps & Air Photo Sysytems List)?  If you - or, inadvertently, I - didn't,
I re-send it below (I hope!)

     Dear Russell Guy of Omni Resources:-
 
     It should be simple (!) for you to obtain the following essential
     adjunct to geographic/cartographic personnel/institutions who have
     care of non-English language/non-Roman script materials:-
 
     Romanization systems and Roman-script spelling conventions / prepared
     by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, Foreign Names Committee Staff.
     - [Washington DC:] Defense Mapping Agency, 1994. - iv,109p.; 28cm. -
     Title and statement of responsibility taken from front cover
 
     NB: ensure that you have a copy with the revise of p.105
     ('Romanization system for Ukrainian: BGN/PCGN 1965 System' as it so
     happens!) as this has a corrected transliteration for letter no.5 (it
     should read as 'g' when romanized - not 'h' as in the first version of
     the page issued in the complete publication).
 
     See you in Amsterdam at IMTA (with an amended copy for you of the BCS
     Map Curators' Group 'Directory of UK map collections)
     Francis Herbert
