Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reply. As I'm only four-days new to Map Server, I am not
even familar with how to create the base map in Map Server. I do have some
concept of tile cashe, but that' s in very remote future. Can you shed more
lights on how to create base map in Map Server? How to do it?

Static, what do you meant by that? I'm also confused, by how the Map server
will react when users zoom into differnt levels? Does the map server always
step in and react when a new level is zoomed and requested, will the map
server step in and make maps one the fly? Does that level (as well as other
levels)  have to be specified in base map, .... Goosh, I'm so new to the map
world..... pardon me for silly questions...

So, how to create a base map?

Thanks.

JK
