configuring demo under windows 2k help request

[Stephen Lime]

David and all: The new version has a bunch of changes in symbols. A few things are still
changing (for the better) To use it the nightly builds you need to make the following changes
to your symbol files. Note that the use of named symbols is highly recommended.

1) edit each symbol file and remove the first line (e.g. MARKERSET)  and
the last "END".

2) "cat" the files together into a single file

3) in the mapfile remove the 3 symbol set lines and replace them with SYMBOLSET "yourfile"

That should do it. This will be documented further when the new release is ready.

just installed mapserver 3.3.0.12 (gif binaries for windows) & the ms_demo
package under windows 2000 IIS
i am having problems with the configuration of the demo , it may be a
permissions issue .

running demo_init.html
 i get the error :
msLoadmap():unknown identifier (shadeset):(7)

although the symbols directory and sym files are there
SHADESET "F:\inetpub\wwwroot\ms_demo\symbols\line.sym"

anyone point me in the right direction ?
