Since the posting on January 4 about this new map, several people have
contacted me about the unusual TPC which covers all of the Bosnia and
Herzegovinia area.  A service representative at the NOAA Distribution
Branch (302/436-6990) told me that this is a special purpose map and is
not in their sales database, although it appears to be unclassified and
probably has already been distributed in thousands of copies.  I thought
that it would be available immediately, but apparently it is not currently
available through NOAA.  The chart does show the NOAA Distribution Branch
N/CG33, National Ocean Service, Riverdale, MD 20737-1199 as a source of
DMA products, so I wouldn't give up but try again later.  The list price
for a TPC is US $4.95, which I think is a bargain for an interesting chart.
