"<font face="Arial" size="2">Premature end of script headers"<br>
<br>
this generally happens if some libs are not found.<br>
<br>
To install a MapServer windows pack extract all .dll files to
c:\windows\system32\ dir<br>
and the MapServer cgi to CGI path of your webserver.<br>
<br>
You should also take a look at MS4W ( MapServer For Windows ) at
