mapinfo trouble in mapserver {Scanned}

[Siki Zoltan]

Dear MAtthew,

To display a raster in mapserver you need georeference in a separate world
file or a geotiff file. MapInfo uses different georeference style in tab
files. As far as I know mapserver/gdal doesn't support it. You must
read raster howto.

I hope it helps you
