[Stephen Lime]

MapServer DOES do GIFs if you nab the patched version of GD 1.8.4 from the folks in
Australia. - Steve

Joao,

Mapserver 3.5 is built with PNG support. Can't display GIFs. Remove all the
refs to GIFs or better yet, get a graphics program and convert the GIFs to
PNGs and replace the references with the correct name.

To those who maintain the Itasca demo. Please remove the refs to GIFs from
the map file if it is being offered for use with Mapserver 3.5. Having GIFs
there doesn't serve any purpose if Mapserver doesn't do GIFs, and it is very
confusing for a beginner.

Many thanks,
