The ANGLE FOLLOW setting was originally intended for <br>> labeling along road segments; it currently does a poor job of labeling streams <br>> with lots of twists and turns. And there are a few issues filed against it in <br>> Maperver's Trac.<br>> <br>> As for the loading of DLLs by mapserv.exe, a good tool to use is ProcessMonitor <br>> (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx).
