Thanks, that was the idea i had as well. I guess i can capture the wms =
layer as a raster image and open it in a GIS program, as a base map.  =
I'll give it a go,
thanks,
Paul

  Paul -

  You can certainly display other layers on top of a WMS layer, and =
apply labels like that.  You can't "modify" it in the sense that you =
send a request and you get back an image produced by the remote server, =
but once you get that image it's yours to do whatever you like with it.  =
It's common for WMS layers to be used as basemaps with other annotation =
and data layers on top of them.

  Hi all,

      Not sure if this is directly related to mapserver, but if anyone =
knows of a WMS listserv ...) Anyways I was wondering if anyone knows if =
there is a way of modifying a WMS layer locally?  I'm trying to =
superimpose labels on a wms layer that doesn't have any.

  thx,

  Paul
