[Mapserver-users] Export to GeoTIFF file

[Howard Mark]

There are several arcview extensions out there - at least one is free - that allow connecting directly to WMS servers.

Interesting idea which I would really like to know how to do as well.
Others can correct me, but I don't think is possible to do at present.
Images coming out from mapserver don't (AFAIK) have any georeferencing -
they are intended to be simple images for viewing outside of GIS.

I'd love to see this work though, let me know if you get any good advice.

You may rather investigate the WMS protocol which could provide
geo-referenced images more directly into your viewing application.  I
think you'll find this a bit more usable out-of-the-box than your
approach.
