Hi Rob

We use both MapXtreme NT and MapServer since several years and are 
happy with both and they are comparable in functionality and 
performance. If your client is in a 100% MapInfo environment you might 
consider the following:

- MapServer supports MapInfo TAB directly, using styleitem auto it 
supports as well colors and fonts 
- However it does obviously NOT support:
. linetypes
. hatch fills
. mixed geometries (who uses that anyway ...)
. workspaces / geosets
... means there might be a bit more work involved to make your data 
look the same in mapserver as it looks in mapinfo.

i.e. look up the following sites (one german only) and guess which is 
using which ???

1. http://www.stadtplan.stadt.sg.ch/
2. http://www.mapserver.ch/waedenswil/index_e.phtml

best regards
flavio
