Now I know, and it shows my ignorance. I have never worked with
MapServer, the cgi (other than a few clicks here and there on the
Itasca demo) -- always used Perl/MapScript.
I know that Steve Lime (and others) have done wonders with cgi
MapServer, and I should learn how. I may have a chance to implement
MapServer in standalone kiosks kinda situations, and on thinking about
it, it seems that the cgi version would be simpler, yet very capable.
Am I wrong/right in my assumptions?
Anyone? (not just Ed). Anyone who has had any experience implementing a
GIS app in an unattended kiosk situation?

run in Browse mode.
as opposed to what other mode?
