[Mapserver-users] DBFWriteStringAttribute problem/bug?

[Lowell Filak]

I'm not sure if anyone will be able to confirm whether it works in other
interfaces. The suggestion has been to use the xbase module available
for the laguage as opposed to the DBFxxxxx functions as they exist in
mapscript mainly for tcl. So just in case you receive no feedback, your
not being ignored.
