Thanks, Derrick. With, of course, the usual tributes to your omniscience.

Okay. But (I'm looking at Ohio, not PA but close enough for the purposes of 
argument) the sheets offered by Pmtmate are identical to those found at Maptech 
in terms of edition and reprint dates, even where multiple editions are listed. 
Amazing coincidence - not.

I notice also that Maptech's overlaps between quarter-sheets are very, very 
wide. Adds to download time but reduces the need for pasting.
