[Mapserver-users] Mr SID & Mapserver

[Randy James]

Hi

I have 20 gigs geotiffs broken into 160mb files and than
tiled using the gdal tools; to handle large my tif files.
But i'm not displaying all the tiles at once just when
zooming in  (they turn on at 1:150,000) and for query
results.

Cheers
Randy
