[TUHS] Floppy to modern files for Usenet maps

[Mary Ann Horton Gmail]

Thanks, Henry, you found my mistake.

I've corrected the links to the Sept 1983 maps and verified that the 
date in the map is September.  Would you please rerun that one? :)

The extra icons in the legend are nice!

Yes, I agree doing this on a plotter would be better. I recall Brian 
Reid doing just that as a product demo of an HP plotter at one Usenix. I 
had such a poster, I was going to bring it this week but I can't find 
it. Now I know where he got his data...

Thanks,

     Mary Ann
