Thanks - but I have a few blocks more. Where can I download the whole map of the qds? I am
browsing through NGI.gov.za at the moment, but can't find it - if the map is in vector format, one
polygon per qds, I could digitize the qds I have - they are not that many (but more then in the
email). Did you do the shp file manually or automatic?

Thanks,

Rainer
