<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm using Mapserver 3.5.
and </FONT></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a shape file (dimension
lines for a parcel layer) that appears to be of type Poly Line in ESRI
Arcview GIS 3.2a (i.e. when I open it I see all lines, and when I open the
.dbf it calls the fields RPOLY...see below).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The only TYPE I can get to display in
Mapserv is POINT, if I try TYPE LINE, POLYLINE, or POLYGON</FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>, I get the errror: msDrawShape(): General error message. Only
polygon or line shapes can be drawn using a line layer definition. (or
similar error for polygon, and getSymbol(): Symbol definition error.
(POLYLINE):(9) for POLYLINE). I know POLYLINE is no longer used in
3.5 but I thought I'd try it.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any suggestions on what how to export the data from
ESRI or map file parameters I might be mis-using? I have tried
combinations of TYPE POLYGON and color and outlinecolor and received the error
above, and LINE and color and outlinecolor (note in each of
POLYGON, LINE I tried both color and outlinecolor, and each
separately).</FONT></DIV>
