NOTE TO POSTERS
Since my retirement on 2008-09-30, I have been so busy with other projects that I haven't been able to review Wikipedia articles the way I did before retirement. I may still check in from time to time, but don't expect any rapid response to messages posted here. Thanks! — DAGwyn (talk) 09:28, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Map of Zendia
You mentioned that you can provide a copy of the map of Zendia, or a photograph of the one on display at the NCM. I think it would make a neat addition to the article. It seems surrisingly difficult to obtain one online (I've been trying for a while to use as base for the requisite traffic analysis...)~ 95.91.209.7 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:17, 3 September 2016 (UTC)


 * I'll try to do that in the near future. When you think you've finished the traffic analysis, you can check your chart against Karl Heinz-Everts' ZP Web page. Don't peek ahead at his cryptanalytic results, though, or you'll lose much of the benefits of the exercise. If you manage to find the pattern behind the code-word sequence please let me know! (I looked for old field code books that matched the plaintext sequence, and while a couple were somewhat similar I didn't find the one that had been used by LDC.) — DAGwyn (talk) 07:45, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Division Field Code # 4 is fairly close in general structure, but has Syllabary and Vocabulary in separate sections. —  DAGwyn (talk) 22:55, 21 October 2016 (UTC)


 * I now have a series of photos which can be pieced together to make the map, and will be working on that. There also exists a close-up map of the region where most of the action takes place, but I don't know where I put my copy, and the museum doesn't have it. — DAGwyn (talk) 14:03, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The existing images have too much distortion and incomplete coverage, so I'm planning on a different approach. — DAGwyn (talk) 18:51, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Meanwhile, I have inserted a low-resolution black-and-white image as a placeholder. — DAGwyn (talk) 09:11, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
