[Mapserver-users] ArcIMS vs MapServer Functionality - WMS extensions

[Till Adams]

Dear Brock,

there are two extensions to ArcMap which allow to add WMS services:

SICAD
in german:
http://www.sicad.de/pages/produkte/technologie/sicad_extensions/sicad_wms_extension.html

in english: 
http://www.sicad.com/pages/products/technology/sicad_extensions/sicad_wms_extension.html

or
con terra
http://www.conterra.de/ >> Information/Service/ >> Downloads >> WMS 
Extension (german only)

For both a registration is required, but the software is free. Choose 
the one from SICAD, because the conterra tool only is a kind of "demo", 
developed to show, that it is POSSIBLE to load WMS services into ArcMap. 
You only may load one WMS layer at the same time into ArcMap....

Has anyone an idea about a tool for loading WMS services into ArcView 3.x?

Cheers,
Till
