[mapserver-users] Map Viewer for use on laptop

[Stephen Woodbridge]

I'm sorry, I haven't been following this thread but why not get
ArcExplorer2 which is a free download from the ESRI site?

Granted it is view only app. As soon as you want to edit files the
problem become a little more complex. :)
