[mapserver-users] OT: Batch Convert MrSID

[Armin Burger]

Chip,
if the image size/geometry remains the same for the produced tiffs (that's
what I suppose) then you can do this manually. The world files should be
identical for tiffs and MrSid. Copy the *.sdw files to your output directory
with the tiff files  and change their name at the dos prompt
# rename *.sdw *.tfw
