This particular
diagnostic task has had me leaning towards getting MapServer *out* of the template business. Possibly OGR/GDAL bindings to python/ruby + Mako/Erb would be more useful. This does not help you but I feel better having espoused a potential long term fix to these troubles. :-)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; "> <div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; "> <font size="2" face="Arial"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> "Ed Boesenberg, III" <boesiii@yahoo.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> 'Dan Little' <danlittle@yahoo.com>; 'Brent Fraser' <bfraser@geoanalytic.com> <br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cc:</span></b>
