[UMN MAPSERVER-USERS] JavaMapScript

[Roger Bixby]

I did that before I sent the original email. Same result. The examples
below are from after I moved the map file from it's original location
to the same directory I was running the class from. 

And to speed this up a bit, I'm running this on a Windows XP box. The
original location of the map file was
c:\tutorial\htdocs\example1-8.map. I tried the following combination of
path structures with the same result:

c:\\tutorial\\htdocs\\example1-8.map
\\tutorial\\htdocs\\example1-8.map
/tutorial/htdocs/example1-8.map
c:/tutorial/htdocs/example1-8.map

Any ideas?
