[Mapserver-users] "grid" is reserved word in 3.7

[Daniel Morissette]

Tyler,

You can still have a layer called "grid": just make sure you enclose the
name inside double quotes and then it will work (The parser will see it
as a string instead of as a mapfile symbol).  BTW, our local copy of the
gmap mapfile is fixed, it's just that the downloadable version isn't.
