I know it sounded a bit abrupt - but actually I am not annoyed with you, I am pleased that you have taken interest in this - actually what made me a bit abrupt is that I have been struggling to get up a local server for India, mainly to properly display golf courses and was frustrated at getting nowhere - so maybe I took it out on you. Apologies. Keep up the good work. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
