[maplab-users] Labeling issue

[kgrootendorst at baird.com]

Zak,
The reason I wasn't using the ms4w package is because I will eventually 
(when the hardware is in place) be setting up mapserver on a Linux box, 
and I wanted to familiarize myself with the different libraries, etc.
Thanks for your help - I'll see what the mapserver community has to say.

Kevin

Kevin,

I'm afraid you've reached the limit of my windows mapserver knowledge. 
Maybe someone else on the list can help, but otherwise I suggest that 
you switch to the MS4W package. Is there some reason that it isn't 
practical to do so?

You might get more help on the mapserver-users list since this isn't 
just a problem with maplab. That list has far more subscribers.
