Return of IMSEMU

Hi all,
We are pleased to announce a new and improved version of IMSEMU for
your emulating pleasure.  For those new to the concept, IMSEMU is a
script which wraps around Mapserver and speaks ArcXML to client
software.   This allows ESRI software such as ArcMap and ArcExplorer to
directly access mapserver services using ArcXML -- no special
interoperability extensions required.
The new version of IMSEMU is written using PHP/Mapscript, so the
installation should be much easier than for the old Perl based version.
  Assuming you have PHP support for Mapscript and DOMXML, just drop the
script in the right place and go.
The new version also adds many features.  The binary stream format is
now partially supported, so many feature-based aspects of ArcXML are
supported, such as full preview mode in ArcCatalog.
There are still things missing, but we are looking forward to your help
in finding the remaining gaps and filling them in.
You can download IMSEMU from http://mapserver.refractions.net
Paul
