[Mapserver-users] Adding a GIF layer to my .map file

[Howard Mark]

#1 The filename is NOT imagefilename.wld
In the case of a tif it's imagefilename.tfw
For JPG it's imagefilename.jgw
For GIF it's imagefilename.gfw

#2 You should be able to determine this yourself

Sorry Howard!!,
    I realize that it is the second time I use your last name instead of
your first name!!!. Well, I am a bit distracted by these days. Another
question: Do you know any software that can help me to georeference my GIF
file, and generate the world file?
