	Hi.

	I'm administratting a mapserver site here in Brazil. It's from an 
institute that supports the tourism in a region cut by the the 
ancient "royal road".
	It's quite away from being finnished, but I tought it would be 
interestting to show it to you. It happens that i've used mapserver in 
a (surprisingly) uncommon way.
	Most of the mapserver sites i've seen out there display only 
point or line information, over some 2 or 3 regions with different 
meanings. It happens that I wanted to colour each one of the sub-
regions (the nuclei (is this right? :) if not, it's at least beautifull ) ) 
with different colours.
	I've sent a message here asking about how to read the color 
number from the database. Well, here is why! I had to define the 
colour of each one of the nuclei (plus two other regions) on my 
.map file, and that's not nice! I've done an AWK program that 
helped me with it, but it's really unconvenient.
	I'm not that a programmer yet to try to implement this feature 
by my own, so it stays here as a suggestion...


	Well, take a look at the site, because thet map is getting really 
cute! :)
