[Mapserver-users] Funny Scalings

[Matthew Smith]

Hi All

I am experiencing some weirdness with Mapserver 3.6.6 running on Linux 
(kernel 2.4.19, SuSE distribution).

All scales appear to be out by a factor of 10,000.  I have had to set 
MAXSCALE and MINSCALE with far fewer zeroes at the end than I would have 
thought to get the desired effect

Moving the decimal point wouldn't be any great problem for me if I 
weren't using the scalebar which is out by the same factor.

An abbreviated version of my mapfile is shown below.  Unforutnately I 
don't have Mapserver running on my production server, so the whole 
system isn'a available on the WWW for inspection.

Suggestions anyone?

Cheers

Matthew Smith
