Hi Dennis,

Have you installed the Lizardtech plugin?  I just downloaded it and the
panning and zooming functions seem to work ok.

While I applaud the effort, I am unable to figure out how to see the
maps in sufficient resolution to read any of the labels.  This would
seem to severely limit their utility for research.  Is there
something about the interface that eludes me?
