I agree! And a big "Thank You" to all that replied.

I presented the replies to the dev team reviewing MapServer and the 
only question I can't seem to nail down a solid answer for is this:

"What is the availability of a coordinate geometry (COGO) tool for 
mapping metes & bounds from legal descriptions?"

Is anyone aware of a COGO package that could be linked to MapServer?

It seems to me that this is what PostGIS and Shapelib might help 
handle, but there is a lot to absorb here and I'm very much a GIS 
novice so any help with this would again be much appreciated.

Kindest Regards,
