[mapserver-users] Mr.SID

[Stephen Lime]

I have chatted with them, and while they'd like to help it's just not in 
the cards for the foreseable future. Curiously the folks at ERMapper
and their ECW compression don't support non-Windows platforms 
either. Perhaps JPEG2000...

The SDK web page for Mr.SID decoder is here:

http://www.lizardtech.com/developer/index.php?family=2 

As Stephen notes, they do not seem to currently support UNIX (the title
says "Solaris", but the body says "currently only available for
Windows"). I guess this is something a prospective developer could
followup on w/ lizardtech.
