How many files?

I just did a file search on *.FCW files on my computer and was amazed on how many have accumulated over the years. Anyone want to guess how many? He or she who guesses best can reuqest a Pete Fenlon Style symbol from me - you've got until Wednesday 10:00am GMT to guess.
Details: I searched for *.FCW files on my c: drive (which is my only hard drive). No FSC and FCT files included.

Incase you have as many fcw files as I have... :-)
That's 4 x the size of the Forgotten Realms Atlas so its quite some horde of maps!

Monsen with "6000".
Congratulations!
My search result was 6122 files (see pic below). A bit lower than some people suspected. But I don't have the FRIA installed on my work machine and the comp is only 2 years old.
I'm on brink of the vacation, actually leaving tomorrow. Meaning you'll have until July 17th - when I return - to think of a Pete Fenlon style symbol (or a small group of symbols) that you'd like to see (and I'll make those available to all).
I'm going to need some help thinking of a good symbol though. My experience with Fenlon style maps stops with the Annual (Which I still haven't had timee to explore and use to make maps), so I don't even know what is already available. Suggestions from the rest of the community would be appreciated here.
Grab your old Pete Fenlon maps (or look for them on the web) and pick out a nice little symbol you want to use.

Anyone got any good online resources where his maps can be found?
If no one else has a better suggestion, I would say a walled city would be nice though. I saw one on a rather poor quality image that showed a small section of one of his maps. Either that, or a volcano (Should be one of those on most Mordor maps)
If it is a symbol catalog (*.fsc files), you use it by hitting the "open symbol catalog" button right above your symbol catalog, and browse for the downloaded file. Raw .png symbols can be opened in the same way.
*.fct files are templates. Put them in the appropriate subdirectory below your templates directory, and you can use it whenever you create a new map, and select to use a pre-defined template. And finally, *.fcw files are ordinary maps you can open.
