[mapserver-users] demo on Mac X

Sun Jun 9 20:04:52 EDT 2002

I don't think there is problem in demo_init.html but in the mapfile :
SHADESET (6) means there is problem on the 6th line of your map file or on
the 6th line of your shade set file, don't remember which one.
MAybe you supplied illegal keywords in the files.
