<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm relatively new to Mapserver and I'm attempting
to implement Mapserver as on OGC WMS. I have two problems, so any help would be
greatly appreciated. I've attached my mapfile definition at the bottom of the
e-mail.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 1. I have defined a scalebar,
which I'd like to embed in the map. This works fine however, I want to place
some text (a copyright notice) next to the scalebar (i.e. along the bottom of
the map). To do this I think I need to include a label entry in my scalebar
definition, but I can't work out how to set the text I want to
display.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 2. I have a vector layer which
contains 136 polygons (name: 'boarders'). I'd like to make these
semi-transparent, so you can still see the raster data in the layer below. Can
you do this with Mapserver?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm using Mapserver 3.5 on Windows
2000.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance,</FONT></DIV>
