Serving MrSidd images

[Travis Kirstine GIS Tech]

Lawrence,
If it is possible I would recommend converting your MrSid images to GeoTiff
format and serving them up that way. We've tried using MrSid's and haven't
had much luck perfomance wise

Hello,

I am very new to MapServer.  I wanted to add a set of tiled images in MrSidd
format to my map.  I have a shapefile depicting the locations of the tiles.
I understand that I need GDAL to make this happen.  I loaded MapServer using
the MS4W download.  Do I have GDAL?  If I do, how do I use it.  Also I am
running MapServer on a Windows 2000 server machine with IIS as the
webserver.
