Subject: MSDemo symbol file problem
Mime-Version: 1.0

 
I am using  Windows NT and IIS 4.0.  I downloaded and set up the windows binary ms34gif  
zip file. and copied the mapserve.exe to "D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin".
Then I downloaded and set up the msdemo. But have come to a problem with the symbolset 
Based on the documentation:  If you are using a MapServer Version 3.4 or newer, you will 
need to make one additional change. Newer versions use a unified symbol file format, 
which means you must store all symbols in one file. To do the switch: 
1) The lines starting with SHADESET, MARKERSET, AND LINESET and the last END keyword 
should be deleted. 
2) "SYMBOLSET symbol/symbol.sym" should be added 
3) Make the new symbols.sym file by concatenating the three symbol files together. 
This is what I did:
Step 1) I made a symbol.sym file by assimilating shade.sym, marker.sym, and line.sym.  In 
order to do this, I cut and pasted the aforementioned files and deleted the SHADESET, 
MARKERSET, AND LINESET and the last END.  Then I added a SYMBOLSET and END statement in 
the following fashion:
SYMBOLSET
<Symbol stuff>
 END #end of symbolset
 Step 2) I made the following changes to the "demo.map" file:
SYMBOLSET symbols/symbol.sym
#LINESET symbols/line.sym
#MARKERSET symbols/marker.sym
#SHADESET symbols/shade.sym
 
I got  the following error:
getSymbol(): Symbol definition error. (STYLED):(8) 

Can you tell me what I need to do to get the  symbolset to work?
