Hi Mark

Well I probably should have pointed out that gotcha explicitly in my original 
email. It's easy enough for me to fix but I've been thinking about building 
in better support for other GeoNames feature codes from those files too (http://www.geonames.org/export/codes.html) 
which means the code will need revisiting anyway.

MB> mapname: 63240001
MB> description: GB-Plymouth
MB> input-file: 63240001.osm.gz
...
MB> description: GB-Aberdeen
MB> input-file: 63240022.osm.gz
MB> That's great.

MB> Many thanks for the new capability.

No problem, I'm glad to hear you're happy with the results. I've just checked 
in a fix for the path bug you found too, r96.
