Symbol file reader.

There was sym2img in the mapserver distribution, but it is not working. I suppose
that could be fixed up in relatively short order.

All,

does anyone know of a generic Symbol file reader?  Something that would 
build a image, or images, from a symbol file?   I want to set up 
something for maintaining a symbol file by many individuals, is there 
something out there already like this?

I would prefer a CGI version of something if possible, where instead of 
map=<path>, something like symbols=<path>.

Is there any utility for this out there already?  Something standalone.

Failing this, how about a method in the MAP files that just cycles 
through all the symbols automatically as a form of legend output.

Thanks

bobb
