[mapserver-users] Converting AVL files

[Eduin Yesid Carrillo]

Actually I'm writing an mayor update for Maputils, a contributed ArcView 
extension from Ross Searle to create map files and html stuff for web sites 
using mapsever. This extensions reads all symbols from a view no matter if 
they are assigned from ArcView or readed from avl files. All colors are 
passed to map files as RGB values.
This extension has limitations due to Avenue language it self for reading 
composite symbols, however, works really good for single symbols (lines, 
points, and polygons) with colors, line width, outline color, view 
background color, and other things.
This upgrade read views with sde layers (with avp files loaded too), and add 
the correct parameters to the map file.

I can send you this ext for testing purposes, before posting for public 
domain.
