Dear Martin,

as I understand MyGIS and the spatial functions of Mysql 4.1 are two 
pair of shoes. MyGIS is an older implementaton of spatial functions in 
mysql but not implemented in the main stream of mysql.

We have a project where we fetched x/y data from a mysql database via 
odbc driver on a debian box (horrable to get the driver runing) but as 
far as I know there is no way to read mysql 4.1 spatial data directly.

I tried to upload the manual to the new mapserver page, but it didn't 
work - maybe I did something wrong. If that'll help you plese send an email.
