[mapserver-users] PNG vs. GIF

[Hankley, Chip]

I'm trying to come to grips with PNG vs. GIF support with MapServer.

If I understand the information on the website and from the archives
correctly, the next (pending?) release will not support GIF. I would assume
then, that as a new user I should start working with the PNG version.

OTH, I found that the Mapplet script apparently doesn't work with PNG files.
Are there other unforeseen "pitfalls" of using PNG?

Cheers!
