        Antje and MAPS-L:
 
        How many countries?  WOW!  What a "fun" question.  I don't know how
        many of you readers of MAPS-L subscribe to the GEOGRAPH-L list
        serv, but there was about a two-week discussion of this same
        question.  I think I either saved electronically or maybe printed a
        hard copy of some of the responses.  It was a rather "interesting"
        discussion to say the least.  Such a simple question with just a
        simple answer - it is not.
 
        If I find some of these files I will (selectively) re-post them to
        MAPS-L.  Unless you all say NO, NO, NO!
