     I don't think the face of the Earth was entirely rescupted. We have
little evidence in the form of graphical topography to substantiate this
claim. We know that Korea is underwater, and Urth has seven continents, both
due to Jonas' comments in _Claw_.
     The first few messages in the Urth Archive discuss a map. If someone
would be as kind as to send that to me, or give me an URL for it, I would be
grateful.

     That's news to me. Would you mind typing that sentence or paragraph in?
