Tiger Line Data

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

you can use an ogrtindex for this. This does not physically combine
all shapefiles, but you can use all the data as one LAYER in
Mapserver.

See:

http://gdal.org/ogr/ogr_utilities.html

and

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc44/ogr-howto.html

Best regards,
Bart
