<P class=MsoNormal>I am using<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Windows NT and IIS 4.0. I downloaded and set up the windows binary
ms34gif<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>zip file. and copied the
mapserve.exe to "D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin".<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Then I downloaded and set up the msdemo. But have come to a
problem with the symbolset <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Based on the documentation: <EM>If you are using a
MapServer Version 3.4 or newer, you will need to make one additional change.
Newer versions use a unified symbol file format, which means you must store all
symbols in one file. To do the switch: <o:p></o:p></EM></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><EM>1) The lines starting with SHADESET, MARKERSET, AND
LINESET and the last END keyword should be deleted. <o:p></o:p></EM></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><EM>2) "SYMBOLSET symbol/symbol.sym" should be added
<o:p></o:p></EM></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><EM>3) Make the new symbols.sym file by concatenating the
three symbol files together. <o:p></o:p></EM></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>This is what I did:</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Step 1) I made a symbol.sym file by assimilating shade.sym,
marker.sym, and line.sym.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In order
to do this, I cut and pasted the aforementioned files and deleted the SHADESET,
MARKERSET, AND LINESET and the last END.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Then I added a SYMBOLSET and END statement in the following
fashion:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>SYMBOLSET</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><Symbol stuff><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> END #end of symbolset<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> Step 2) I made the following changes to the "demo.map"
file:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>SYMBOLSET symbols/symbol.sym</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>#LINESET symbols/line.sym<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>#MARKERSET symbols/marker.sym<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>#SHADESET symbols/shade.sym<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I got the following error:<o:p></o:p></P>
