ms4w, chamelion, maplab

[Jeff McKenna]

hi Leapold,

To setup your mapfile as a WMS server, some metadata items are required. 
  To view an example wms-server mapfile see the doc at 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/wms-server-howto.html#sample-mapfile. 
You can also install the GMap 'Sample Application' for your MS4W 
installation from 
http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=downloads.html. This GMap 
  package contains a valid wms-server mapfile (gmap75_wms.map), as well 
as valid wms requests that are listed on the localhost page.

hope that helps a little.
