Map wrap around??

[Jerl Simpson]

Thanks for the link to the wiki.
I was hoping there was a directive I could give, it's no big deal
really.  We have worked out a fix for this from the client side.  I am
running a WMS server and we are using it to create rastered tiles of
the world.  Then we browse those images via our web interface.

I appreciate the assistance.
