them for my James Joyce pages (GIFs only), showing where around Dublin
the events in his books (and life) take place. But I recently realized I
could bring a lot of this together into a compact ascii-art version that
teachers (eg) could email around... and just now I came up with a nifty
trick (ascii-art only) for the 'key' that explains things:
A less-spartan GIF version (with tramlines marked) is at:
