[OSGeo-Discuss] Comparision between MapServer/OpenLayers and ESRI ArcIMS

[John Callahan]

To follow up re: status of ArcIMS

I just checked the ESRI site, clicked on Products, Server GIS and ArcIMS 
is nowhere to be found.  As well, if you select Training and search for 
courses, you will find exactly "zero" instructor-led courses for 
ArcIMS.   (ArcIMS is also listed under "Other Products" in the Training 
section.)    So, as far as I'm concerned, ArcIMS is dead and everything 
goes through ArcGIS Server with ESRI.
