Miscellaneous

I find GIF diagrams afford the best visual way to present the material.
The diagrams are fixed in size.
You should set your monitor resolution to at least 1024 x 768 pixels to avoid having to scroll back and forth.
Your browser should be able (or set) to handle images to appreciate this site.

Please note that – different countries have different spelling for foreign places, areas, regions, countries, etc.

I have endeavoured to check the spelling of names in this site to ensure accuracy; however be aware of variations from present day spelling. Furthermore, I have applied those designations I am familiar with. So, adopt a liberal approach in your research in the interpretation of the entries.

You may be thinking these pages are too simple and drab.
There are no advertisements,
there are no e-mail envelopes flipping over and over,
and there are no sound bytes being thrown at you, not even the ones you can't turn off.
Just lots of gif's, some text, a few tables (in clean HTML 4.01 Transitional).

These pages done with the unlikely combination of
    Calc   —   LibreOffice [It's free. Some adjustments required when used to Excel.]
     Excel   —   Microsoft  [No longer used as it has become too expensive.]
    HomeSite+  —   Allaire [Bought up by Macromedia and then Adobe. Discontinued. I use verson 5.5 (2003).
                                Works well with CSE HTML Validator Lite integrated.]
    CSE HTML Validator Lite   —   HTML Validator [Free version discontinued, but standard version well worth the price.]
    Paint Shop Pro   —   JASC Software. [My main drawing tool. Taken over by Corel, and ruined. I use with version 5.01 (1998).]
    Mapedit   —   Boutell Com [Outline any object on a GIF, and it automatically makes an link. Unfortunately now defunct.]
    Tableizer!  —   Danny Sanchez [Simple online ap to convert text or spreadsheets to very basic HTML tables. Just great.]
    Pixel font editor   —   SimpleFont. [As the name says, create your own pixel fonts. Unfortunately now defunct.]
