Since the full text of this book, including graphics, is already available
on the web at http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/ I can't
imagine why you'd bother with the hard copy. If in your pursuit of
ASCIIness you wanted the text in that format, you could still do that much
more easily by saving the HTML pages from web in ASCII. And just what DOES
PG do with items such as this that contain maps, etc?
cheers
