[mapserver-users] OGR - ArcInfo Coverage Help

[Jeff McKenna]

Chip,

I've experienced similar problems with labelling coverages (my symbols appear
but the labels look like they are in a different projection, way off from the
symbols).  We've filed it as a bug
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=184) and we'll be
investigating it.
