[mapserver-users] Examples using tiffs

[Lowell Filak]

I extracted the landsat.tif from the link and it came up fine in Gimp & ImageMagick. I noticed it is LZW compressed and I'm not sure that ArcExplorer supports LZW compression due to copyrights and for some reason I can't reach ESRI's site. If you have a good internet connection I can e-mail the landsat.tif saved with packbits compression instead off-list.
