Thanks Paul, that appears (will check it out shortly) to be exactly what I
was asking for.  Thank you for the term, now I can simply say ArcIMS
emulator for MapServer.  Whew - that's a lot easier than trying to describe
what I'm thinking.  :)  Thanks a bunch.

As in using it as an "Internet Map Server" data source in Arc8? You will
need an ArcIMS emulator for that...
