[Mapserver-users] MrSID

[Oliver Wesp]

Aaron,

we have no experience using MrSID right know. I suppose somebody who has 
a MrSID-License from Lizardtech will also have the DSDK. But to be 
honest, I don't know. After looking at their website that GeoExpress is 
most likely  the thing you are lookin for. But I think the best way is 
to get somebody from Lizardtech and ask them.
