![TOPWARE logo in D-Sat 1](/img/topware0.jpg)

Already at the lowest zoom level (fully zoomed out) the logo of the
distributor ("TOPWARE") is placed at Mannheim visible. A double click
on the logo immediately shows a 500x500 section of the first aerial
image I have found in a separate window titled "Markerbild". Another
double click on that image shows a 500x500 section of the second
aerial image. Looking at the contents of the CD-ROM I discovered why
the images looked familiar to me:

I had seen them before when browsing the CD-ROM contents.
I had a look at these two files before when browsing the CD-ROM
contents. They show the same aerial images as the embedded bitmaps.

I have not conclusively checked (yet) whether `dsatsued.mp` also
contains the two bitmaps, although I am pretty certain that they are
embedded, since a `grep` on `dsatsued.mp` for the last six bytes of
the first image (`grep -obUaP "\x44\x4a\x40\x42\x00\x00"
../dsatsued.mp`)
yielded a result.
However, given their exact 500x500 size it seems likely the two
separate bitmap files are
shown.

It turned out that the first CD-ROM (for the north of Germany) also
contains those two files and clicking on the TOPWARE logo also works
