Return of IMSEMU

[Ed McNierney]

Paul -

Great!  Have you used this with ArcGIS 9 / Service Pack 1?  I've been trying to get OUR PHP/MapScript code out to the group, but just when I thought we were ready, Service Pack 1 came along and broke everything.  SP1 switched to using ESRI-flavored WKT projection definitions instead of EPSG codes, and I have not had the time yet to deal with it.

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
