RE: [Cz-L] New Maps on Ehpes

Kudos, Jerome! I'd like to state, what my late father Julius Hauster would have said in good old Czernowitzer slang: Das ist ja kolossal - That's (according to the online translator) tremendous, massive, enormous, whopping, huge, immense and COLOSSAL!

That's an excellent ressource for our "neighbors" from Galicia too, therefore I'm quoting this mail to Marla and Alex!
