A confused Network Admin

[Lisi, Christine]

The consultant told me to have both so I don't understand.  MapScript is
a MapServer module, no?

Christine,

you don't (normally) need both MapServer and MapScript ... you would use

one or the other.  And the versions wouldn't have to match (except 
perhaps for dependencies).

MapScript is completely self-contained ...
