is it possible to draw grd file using Mapserver

[Murat Beyhan]

Dear Frank and Friend,

Ok, I'm trying to explain my problem as possible as clearly.
I have two layer both type  are points.
like
peak ground acceleration file.
lat        lon       acceleration (gal)
40.356 35.651 450
40.357 35.652 445
40.358 35.653 440
...          ....       ....
and
village point file.
lat          lon            name
40.125 35.159 Village_name1
40.250 35.254 Village_name2
40.857 35.654 Village_name3
 As you see both file actually are txt and column file.

So I draw both layer by using it's .shp .dbf file.
As you see both are point file.
But I need to know if I draw both on the one map, Which villages  
placed  which zones.
Zones could created by using acceleration. For example 0-100 gal is zone 
1, 101-200gal is zone2, etc.

I guess, If you draw acceleration using point data you could not 
distinguish data as zone.
May be by using point data I can obtain grid file or polygon file  than 
I can determine the village point place on the polygon.
When you draw acceleration distribution the shape of the distribution
 seems circular area then when you classify zones  you can get  result 
of the distribution which are divided  into several  level.

I try to draw point acceleration data as countered data. So I have tried 
to convert point data to grid file to obtain countered map....

I hope I can explain What I'm trying to do.

Regards
Murat
