[Mapserver-users] GIF and PNG file formats

[Tyler Mitchell]

This has been a problem for a long time and for many users, I know several 
folks have offered solutions - so let us know if you need help.  You 
should be able to convert your GIFs to PNG.

I think someone needs to put together a different demo without this kind 
of problem - it's bad especially for a demo trying to show how easy all 
this is!!
