If you need a hand converting them, post it to the list and someone would
be more than happy to email you the png files you are looking for.

1. First, look in the documentation.
2. Second, search the message archives... searching for
"symbols/ctyhwy.gif"
at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wilma/mapserver-users produced
about
a bazillion hits.


the current and future builds of gd do not support gifs. Replace all gifs
with pngs and everything will work.

Hth.

To those who maintain the demo archives... could all the gifs there be
replaced with pngs anyway so this doesn't come up.

Many thanks,
