In addition, I've made two PDF versions of the original pages. The first uses a 
page size of 8.5"x11" (US Letter which can be scaled to A4). It's appropriate 
for printing, but the page breaks aren't very elegant. The second version was 
designed for off-line viewing; each web page is on a single document page (I 
wound up using 11"x44" pages to fit the largest pages) so page-breaks aren't a 
factor. The pages look like their web counterparts, but won't print well, unless 
you use a magnifying glass. What is nice is that all of the navigating 
(inter-page) links were retained in both versions. The links to the ZIP files 
refer to the web locations of the files themselves.

If anyone wants either, let me know which (paged version is ~2M, unpaged version 
is ~1.8M) and I can email them out.

I used Notepad to write the perl script that generates it.

So it was a kind of understatement when you talked of notepad before.
Perl is an excellent tool for these kind of tasks.
I'm just reading the 'Camel Book'...
I think Perl can also work together with Pov. My first project when I
understand a bit more of Perl will be a program that cuts the appropriate
piece of height data out of these huge DEM files dependant on the view of
the the earth just rendered. The whole file would never fit into RAM...
