Good job, Daryen. I was thinking of the www.utzig.com particularly, though I'd seen the others plus one or two more you don't have. But my links are scattered across three or four browser instances.

I didn't mean to make the list comprehensive, just my favorites.

I use the jtas.net one to steal the black maps from. I made all of my maps from their models.

I use BeRKA's site for its CT information. It is also the definitive showing of Foreven (in my book, anyway). If Foreven is ever to be published for the CT timeframe, I will push very, very hard that BeRKA's version is the one used.

I use DED's site for my TNE info. It is a wonderful resource that has oodles and oodles of info. Also, if you want white-backed maps done in the TNE/RSB style, this is the place to crib them from.

Finally, I included the IAI site because I figured it was the one you were thinking of. It is about as comprehensive as any site out there.

Here's an interface idea that would be FAR more portable (and less likely to annoy occasional MS users): Acrobat 5 the whole thing, and use the inter-document linking capabilities built in to acrobat 5 and later.

A significant (but small) proportion of users don't have acrobat 6 available, or available stably.

Likewise, with careful setup, the drill-down maps could be done as a single PDF, or as a series of interlinked PDF's.

A lot of people forget that PDF is a hypertext protocol (albeit one that is seldom so used).

That's one option. Even simple html/image maps/links on the cd would work and be about as cross-compatible as you can get.
(take up less space as well) IIRC some of the Baen audio cds are set up like that.

Yep, why even involve PDF? HTML (and HTML plus CSS especially) does everything you need and pretty much every OS has a browser. Do decent HTML (ie not Frontpage...) and you've got something just about everyone can use, without the bloat of PDF.
