Mapserver & Mapinfo files --HELP {Scanned}

[Siki Zoltan]

Hi,

I was not able to display MApInfo TABs with STYLEITEM AUTO.
I've read in the map file documentation "This is *very* experimental".
Try to remove STYLEITEM and add some style to your class e.g.
CLASS
        OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
END

Bye
Zoltan
