[mapserver-users] 3.4 demo and symbol.sym file

[Lyndon Zimmermann]

Eric,

I'm one of those, and running now (I think - I'm sure there are more
glitches on the way).  In summary:

1.	get your gifs and pngs sorted out if you've kicked over to png (as I
did)
2.	styled is no longer supported, but this fact and the alternatives (if
you need them) is still a well kept secret.  I don't need them so
deleted.
3.	refer to png or gif symbols directly (eg the highway shields), not
via the symbol file.
4.	just copy the three files into a one, SYMBOL.SYM, delete the LINESET,
IMAGESET and MARKERSET and corresponding END statements.
5.	change the reference in the map file from referencing the three files
to the one symbol.sym
