Re[2]: [at-l] AT maps

[wdlists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Walter Daniels)]

Most of the maps in my area have a last revise date in the early 80s or
earlier, i.e. more than 20 years old. I interpret this to mean that next
update will be in the next 20 years. But perhaps it means that our time has
finally come and they will all get refreshed soon.
