On my steam powered version of Adobe I either get a readable A4 version of
the center of the map or the entire map at 33% size.  Even with a powerful
magnifying glass, it's hard to read at that size :(  I'll play around and
see if inserting the pdf into a word document gives a bigger map in multiple
pages.

The orientation of this map appears to differ greatly from your original FT
canonical map - is this the case?  I'm at a loss to find Delta Trianguli,
home of my own FSE separatists (flag would probably be a clenched fist with
middle finger extended) of Breton extraction who have been giving the ESU a
headache as the ESU seeks to establish bases out from Wolf 46 in the
BD+63'238/BD+74'456 direction.  The Triangulii use LTT 12827 as a staging
post while the ESU come into the BD74'456 system via the a star marked as
NN, two parsecs from BD74 and one from BD63 (I've taken to calling this a
null point - some form of dim dwarf star, I assume, an M or smaller that
didn't have a ready classification when you made the map).

I seem to have the same problem with my version of Adobe Reader. If there is a way to print a large Adobe Reader document on a series of pages, I wish somebody would tell me how. I might have to make a reduced-resolution GIF or JPG version of the map for printing purposes.

	The map is NOT a three-D map like the prior ones.  It is
	a "node-map", that is, it displays the connections between
	stars, not their relative locations.  I will fix the map
	to link in Delta Trianguli as per your description.

	What happened was that in order to convert a three-D map
	into a node map, one has to simplify. If you draw connections
	between a star and *all* the other stars, the map becomes
	a solid black wad of lines. It is just that in the process
	of simplifying, my computer program inadvertently
	left out the critical links.  But I will rectify things.
