----------------------------Original message---------------------------- To All: As a clarification to the forwarded message noting on-line geographic names references, "GEOname" is GDE Systems' trademark for its geographic names products. I am sure that the author of the original message intended to refer to the US Defense Mapping Agency's GEOnet Names Server (GNS) and not to our products. Also, the Canadians have an excellent site with their national names database. http://www-nais.ccm.emr.ca/cgndb/geonames.html Ed Taylor GEOname Products, GDE Systems, Inc., (MZ 6100-J) PO Box 509008, San Diego, CA 92150-9008, USA Phone: 1-619-592-5870 Fax: 1-619-592-5320 email: [log in to unmask] Home Page: http://www.gdesystems.com/IIS/Slipsheets/GEONAME.html On Tue, 6 Aug 1996, Sue Ann Lewandowski wrote: > ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > >Date: Fri, 2 Aug 1996 13:59:41 -0700 (PDT) > >From: Tom Moritz <[log in to unmask]> > >To: [log in to unmask] > >Subject: Web gazetteers (fwd) > > These have been cataloged into OCLC (available for copy...) -- Tom > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > >Date: Fri, 2 Aug 1996 13:23:41 -0700 (PDT) > >From: "Adam L.
