[Mapserver-users] Adding a GIF layer to my .map file

Thu Aug 14 16:28:56 EDT 2003

Mario,

Frank is right but if you're still not getting the GIF image, try
changing the .gfw extension to .wld.  (I don't think this is no longer
required with the newer versions of MapServer but it never hurts to try)
