workshop error

[R. Paul Warriner]

Hello Ethan,

Interesting, keeping in mind I am
novice, I commented out the second NAME
instance, and voila; it worked.

Funny, 4.2 didn't care, but 4.4 does.

It is the workshop - itasca.map file,
with the 3rd line "NAME cities":
  LAYER
    NAME mcd90py2_anno
    NAME cities
    TYPE ANNOTATION
    DATA mcd90py2
    STATUS OFF
    LABELITEM "city_name"
    CLASSITEM "city_name"
    LABELMAXSCALE 500000
    CLASS
      EXPRESSION /./
      LABEL
        COLOR 0 0 0
        SHADOWCOLOR 218 218 218
        SHADOWSIZE 2 2
        TYPE BITMAP
        SIZE MEDIUM
        POSITION CC
        PARTIALS FALSE
        BUFFER 2
      END
    END

Thanks for the help,
Paul
