I'm attempting to set the background transparency for a symbol that I've
created, but with no success.
 
My symbol definition
 
  SYMBOL
    NAME "logo"
    TYPE PIXMAP
    IMAGE "h2o_logos/logo.GIF"
    TRANSPARENT 0
  END
 
According to the reference setting a color index in the GIF sets the
transparency (i.e. TRANSPARENT 0).  Color index is 0 is black, and the
output map layer symbol is not transparent!

I've looked over this page and it only discusses PNG files.  I can't get any
of my PNG file variations to work either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
