Hi Tyler,
Thanks for the recommendations. I think QGIS is based on MapWindow -
however it has a much slicker interface and it slightly easier to use.
I don't have access to ESRI ArcView but I have requested an evaluation CD.
Does anyone know a good free shape file editor? as the one in MapWindow
is quite buggy.
Thanks,
James

Hi James,
I haven't used MapWindow yet, sounds promising. QGIS also can export
map files, though it still needs some improvement. If you have access
to ESRI ArcView 3, there is also a pretty good exporter that also
exports some of the more complex symbology. Let me know if you need
some more pointers.

Take a look at MapWindow It is open source and has a tool to export
your
shapefiles out as a mapserver map file.

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Map File Work
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the most appropriate place to ask so
apologies in advance - but I am trying develop the styling for a
MapServer map. Unfortunately, I am under really over worked and
simply don't have the time to do a good job on my own. I don't know
anyone else who can help.... so I was wondering if there is someone
on this list who would be able to help me develop the styling a map
file?
I have the data in shape files and examples of map styles that I
like but simply not enough time to get it done. The map is going to
be used my company and I have small budget. If you are interested
and would have the time to develop the map file and styling then you
can email me directly [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I will send you some
more details,
Thanks,
James
