would like to just point you to <A

, but nothing is particularly easy to glean from the OGC... Plus, I will
have to put in a request to my Attorney General staff before I can click through
the giant legal agreement required to view the WMS spec. Seriously, what
the #$%&!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

don't believe that SIZE comes into play when you are requesting a layer as WMS
because you are required to specify height and width in your getMap
request.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
