Terraserver question

[Dylan Keon]

Hi Andy,

You can pull Terraserver imagery into your app as a WMS layer, as long
as you've compiled your mapserver with WMS support.  Here's an example
layer definition.  The projection info will be the same if you're
mapping your neck of the woods up there :-)

It has to be rendered as 24-bit data, unfortunately, since it comes
across as JPEG.  What I do is render everything as 8-bit unless the DOQ
layer is turned ON, then switch to 24-bit.  $map->selectOutputformat()
makes that a pretty easy thing to do.
