Hi All,
Im wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some documentation
outlining how to create a graticule.

I grabbed the following code from the archive, however after adding it to a
.map file, Mapserver hangs. That is to say Mapserver becomes unresponsive.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks
Jeremy
