Thanks, I was converting to shape files for performance reasons and to merge 
multiple vector maps of the same type into one shape file.   For my application 
the user imports one or more vector maps and software has to automatically 
generate the layers for rendering them.  I guess a better question would have 
been if there is an easy way to rendering a lot of separate vector maps in map 
server via an automated software process.

Thanks again

Mike

You don't have to convert it (although it may bring you performance to do so). 
If your GDAL contains the OGDI driver, you can read it natively

Good Morning,

What is the easiest way to load Vector Maps (VMAP1 & VMAP2) into map server.  
From what I have read vector maps need to be converted into a shape file and 
then a layer needs to be defined for that shape file.  I have created a script 
that takes set of VPF files and creates a point, line, area, and text shape 
file.  From that point I am able to create a layer that is able to render lines 
and points. I have not been able to get areas and text vector data to display 
anything.   Does a layer require a special property to render area and text?  
Is there an easier way to render VPF data?

Thanks,

Mike Francis
