[mapserver-users] Split large tiffs (topos) like TopoZone

[kenboss]

Right, you'd lose the georeferencing with the ImageMagick approach.  If you're a 
programmer, it shouldn't be too hard to do using one of the GDAL APIs (C, C++, 
or Python).  If you're only a wannabe programmer like myself, you might still be 
able to hack one of the apps distributed with GDAL (such as gdal_translate) to 
get what you need.  See http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal/
