workshop error

[Steve Lime]

Note that I've fixed the workshop site at the DNR and have rebuilt the
zip file. Problem should be fixed now.

Paul,

Sean pointed out that there was a bug fix related to this.  In 4.4 we
try
to error out on multiple defined values for stuff like NAME.  It is an
improvement ... really!  In the past the first name was ignored and
the
second was used but if the second was far down in a complex layer
definition
it would be easy to miss it and not know why referring to the layer by
it's
first name didn't work.

Best regards,
