Errors in the Culture Book

[Scott Cohan]

  Well, according to my manual, I can save the info as a MS Excel file, versions
  2.1,2.2,3.0, and 4.0.  I'm just going to finish the master list and then send
  you a copy before I work on the random generation stuff.  Unf, I lost a good
  chunk of it this morning when the power went off in my building.  Have to redo
  everything from The Kazi to Shurikal.

  Did you notice that Lemasa doesn't bother to tell you how many non-city
  dwellers there are on the various islands?  Annoying.
