Download [ Top of Page ]

If you'd rather browse through these pages off line you can download all the pages on this site (557 k), the Indochina maps are separate due to their large size (401 k). All the files are zipped with Winzip 6.3 and should be unzipped into an empty directory (or the "images" directory for the maps).

If you want to receive an update notice, if you have any comments, corrections, additions or whatever, tell me about it.

These pages were put together using an unlikely combination of Netscape Composer, AOL Press and Word 97 !
Anyway, it seems to work on Netscape browsers, I'm not too sure about the others.
If you have any problems viewing these pages, well, no wonder... but if you tell me, I'll try to sort it out.
