File Name: HC_EURO_DB File Submitter: divefreak File Submitted: 10 Mar 2007 File Category: Databases EURO_DB is no longer focused on GIUK/Atlantique Ocean/Mediteranean only, it is now merged with the Atlantic DB and it covers the whole World except the Westpac Area due to Space Limitations (County Names).
