Hi,

I am trying to draw ArcInfo annotation via OGR, using MapServer v3.6.1 
(windows binary) on Windows NT.
I cannot get MapServer to draw the actual annotation text.  Is this 
possible, have i got a syntax error somewhere.

regards
/Matthew

Extract from arc DESCRIBE command on cover:

Using the following syntax with TYPE=Point:

   CONNECTION "C:\apache\htdocs\gt2\data\anno15b,0"
   STATUS default
   CLASS
     COLOR 0 0 0
   END
END

Mapserver draws points at the start of where each annotation string should be.

---------------------------------------------------------
Using the following syntax with TYPE=Annotation:

LAYER
   NAME anno15
   TYPE ANNOTATION
   CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
   CONNECTION "C:\apache\htdocs\gt2\data\anno15b,0"
   STATUS default
   CLASS
     COLOR 0 0 0
   END
END

Mapserver draws nothing for this layer, but gives no error either.  The 
rest of the layers still draw.

---------------------------------------------------------
Using the following syntax with TYPE=Annotation and with a TEXT fixed label:

LAYER
   NAME anno15
   TYPE ANNOTATION
   CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
   CONNECTION "C:\apache\htdocs\gt2\data\anno15b,0"
   STATUS default
   CLASS
     COLOR 0 0 0
     TEXT "hello"
     LABEL
       COLOR 0 0 0
     END
   END
END

Mapserver draws the default text where each annotation string should have been.

---------------------------------------------------------
Using the following syntax with TYPE=Annotation and with a LABELITEM:

LAYER
   NAME anno15
   TYPE ANNOTATION
   CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
   CONNECTION "C:\apache\htdocs\gt2\data\anno15b,0"
   STATUS default
   LABELITEM "NAME"
   CLASS
     COLOR 0 0 0
   END
END

MapServer gives the error:
msOGRLayerInitItemInfo(): OGR error. Invalid Field name: NAME
I have tried both NAME,name,Name without success
