Awesome... simply awesome!!!

Of course, I started picking the 3 arcsecond files for Afghanistan just 
after I read about the newly published data sets...

I hope that meanwhile even a 0.3 arcsecond (equalling 10 meters per 
pixel at the equator) survey is in progress or at least planned for the 
nearer future... so I wouldn't have to tackle with those Soviet-made 
1:100,000 military maps, nor with the enormous task to program an 
interpolation tool for manually extracted contour lines...
