 JB> just a little bugfix to that prog I posted
 
 JB> procedure buildskips;

 JB> should be

 JB> pos:=trunc(0.5+theta/2/pi*map[r]^.len);

        Makes sense now! :)...
        Its funny the stuff i really am into and like to
        try to do - graphics which runs with geomtry
        is the one thing in high school 20 odd years ago
        I couldn't get into due to being in the hospital
        for 6 months.  So pretty much missed the math
        all together.  I just have to learn the boring
        trig and calc stuff later on which i don't need
        today..go figure...

 JB> and that map I sent is truly horrible, the equator is through mexico!
 JB> so don't distribute it. like I said it's probably property of M$
 JB> anyway 

        I'll be sure to sell the demo and send a copy with your
        name to the M$ lawyers :)...j/k

        thanks..no biggie..its just a demo
