Thank You Ethan!

Is tile4ms my only option for tiling shapefiles then?

I've heard that tile4ms won't improve my performance. If yes, what is the
correct order if geting tile4ms to work in DOS? Here is the way I tried it
before. I created an index file containing the paths to and names of my
shapefiles (I did it half-manually, since  dir \a \o:gen > data_dir.in
creates an index of every file, including dbf, not only .shp)

Next, I ran  tile4ms data_dir.in data-tile  command

and I got a dbf type mismatch error message (sorry can't tell exact error
message since I'm on my laptop, not at work)

I also know from the following link that, qoute: "One of the caveats of
this is that all the shapefiles in the index MUST
have the SAME attributes and order of attributes and they must be all
the same type."

Which atributes, order and type?

Does anyone know the syntax for tile4ms in DOS?

Thank You!
