[mapserver-users] multiple highway shields on a single line

[Richard Greenwood]

Steve, Bob,

Thanks for the ideas. Steve - As I was composing my email I was
thinking that there was a good chance that you'd have suggestions and
as always I appreciate your help. Bob - I haven't gotten far enough to
get stuck yet! I'm just trolling for ideas from folks that have more
experience with advanced labeling than myself.

Thanks,
Rich
