[Mapserver-users] Can binary release of MapServer 4.0 for Windows able to manage ECW raster files?

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

You can download the latest version 4.1-dev that includes support for 
ECW at 
http://www.maptools.org/php_mapscript/index.phtml?page=downloads.html.

  I have just tried it and was able to display ECW test files.
