[maplab-users] logical operators

[Zak James]

Maplab passes these values through to mapserver, so this question can 
probably be better addressed on the mapserver-users list. My 
understanding is that there is not currently support for inequality 
operations on strings in mapserver. I think this is going to be 
addressed in an upcoming release, but for now maybe you can convert 
your Fips_code to some unique numeric equivalent.
