<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am a Mapserver Newbie. I have a mapinfo map
with text labels. I have exported the mapinfo.tab file to shape
files. I get a files like</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>lt_text.shp and lt_polyline.shp</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I display the lt_polyline.shp in mapserver it
displays fine. I use the line type.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I display the lt_text.shp in mapserver it
draws points where the text would be. I am using the point
type.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need to be able to get mapserver to actually
display the text labels. How can I do this ?? I have tried various
types for the text shp file, but it either does not display the text or it makes
an error and does not diplay the map. The dbf file that is alongside
the shp file has all the labels in it. Can anyone help ??</FONT></DIV>

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