The ArcIMS "OGC Connector" allows an ArcIMS server to connect to WMS =
layers served by OGC-compliant servers.  It's a one-way pipe (we call it =
the "OGC Diode") because it does NOT permit WMS clients to read data =
from ArcIMS servers.  But it sounds like this is something your ArcIMS =
partners should already be able to do.

Good Afternoon,
=20
Has anyone had any success using Mapserver WMS as a source for an ArcIMS =
service?  Would like to share some raster data with an offsite group =
that only speaks ArcIMS.
=20
Used the IMS Emulator to connect with ArcMap and ArcCatalog ( =
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/data2/wilma/mapserver-users/0110/msg00298.ht=
ml), which worked very well.
=20
Sorry for the slightly off topic question.
=20
Thanks for any info,
=20
Drew.
