[Mapserver-users] EXTENT and PROJECTION

[Tyler Mitchell]

Thanks for being what I call a best-practices guinea pig.  We've all given 
you our opinions on how to best setup your map file, even though you 
tricked us ;)  Perhaps we should regularly post working map files and get 
critiques just for practice! :)  I'm glad you figured out it.  I see the 
moral of the story as: whenever you can copy/paste a filename, do it 
instead of typing.
