yes! but is done!

Size is the only real usable parameter xsize/ysize and ratio are no
good, But i need a value to internaly catch the auto ratio.
ratio is only to be used for spetialists to test exotics ratios. user
need to be learned to keep it at the 100 (auto) value mare clear. but
some scenario developer can ask to be able to tune map ratio with out
touch the code C!
in the gkt2 code size can be placed in the first page, near number of
user! and ratio in geologie page. (i ll change it)

no that is no good, user never can set xsize/ysize rigth way! i prefer
leave out the "ratio", xsize and ysize if you think ratio is absolutly
need to disapear of user view
