It can usually be obtained from the zip itself. Yeah, that would be nice, but unfortunately impossible. It's not even so much a matter of the enormous work that would be involved, but rather the fact that I just never had the files. A large amount of the maps were obtained from connecting to servers and downloading them. As you know, read me files don't come down during downloads. I just bundled the maps with their associated files manually into zips and that was that. Googling/yahooing most of these maps produces zero results. All in all though, I think it's better to at least have the map without the read me then no map at all. Had I started this project a few years earlier I would have had more, but this is the best that can be done. Tommy
