and I'm having problems in producing a map from Mapinfo
files.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=249422010-11052005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've got Mapserver
4.5 installed (with ogr support) on apache 2 under Windows XP Pro. (I've
downloaded some tutorials and got them producing the correct
results.)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=249422010-11052005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've searched the

<DIV><SPAN class=249422010-11052005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've tried various
projections but they don't seem to make a difference. I've also tried
referencing a non-existent .TAB file in the CONNECTION parameter and don't
receive any errors is that normal?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
