The mid file normally contains the text. When I try and display a layer =
where the mid file has the text, I can setup the layer ok, but where all =
the text is in the mif file as shown above, I am unshure how to =
represent the layer. Can anyone help ??
Here is another layer from a mapserver map file, the text for this layer =
displays fine, but when I use this method for the mif file above, I get =
nothing. Can anyone help ???
