Thanks for your response, though I don't understand how much your approach
does to shorten the time involved drawing maps as almost any manual time
spent per new link is no faster than what I do now. At least for the
simple hi-level stick map I do at present.

Sure, this might be a good way to do things. Geert Jan?
Did someone solve this proble for the mbone?
I think I will keep generating a manual map for a while longer.
Thanks,
Bob
