Help needed in Raster/World file

That's an important difference!  If you have a TFW file in the first
place, gdalinfo will simply return its contents to you.  So you're using
the contents of your TFW file to decide what information to put in your
TFW file....

You seem to have no georeferencing information in that file.  What
information do you have about the projection and coordinate extents of
that input image?  Do you need to only display this single layer, or do
you need to integrate it with other data layers?

Hi
   Ed
        I changed the status from On to Default but still its not
working. One thing i want to tell you that if i delete the .tfw file the
output of gdalinfo also changed which like this--->

  #gdalinfo test.tif  ### Without test.tfw file  ######
Driver: Gtiff/GeoTiff
Size is 1042, 722
Co-ordinate System is `'
METADATA
----------
----------
Upper Left (0.0, 0.0)
Lower left (0.0, 722.0)
Upper right (1042.0, 0.0)
center(521.0, 361.0)

Band 1 Block=1024*64 TYPE=BYTE, ColorInterp=RED
........................................................................
..=Green
......................................................................=B
LUE

Then what will be my values in my .tfw file? Now if i put the values in
my .tfw file then the output of my gdalinfo also changed according to
the values that i put there.

Where is the problem? Whether i need to put Projection statement in my
mapfile?
Please help me 
Thanks in advance

	If you set your LAYER to STATUS ON it won't display - you need
to set it to STATUS DEFAULT.

	Hi
	    I have given the mapfile below and after modifying the value
as you suggested in
	your previous, I am not getting the raster image on my final
output.

	Thanks in advance

	Zero is a perfectly nice number!  There's nothing wrong with 0.0
in your world file, especially in the second and third lines.  For the
vast majority of raster images you will find that the fourth line is the
same as the first line with the sign reversed, and the second and third
lines are 0.0.  A world file will often look like:

	100.0
	0.0
	0.0
	-100.0
	12345.67
	987654.32

	 Hi
	     I am trying to include a .tif file for raster background.
For that i have to write a .tfw(world file) for the corresponding .tif
file. The information that i need to put in the world file are X, Y
Pixel size, rotational co-efficient and X, Y location of the center of
the top left pixel. I am trying to find these values by using gdalinfo--
but some values are 0.0
	in their corresponding field.
	   Can anyone plz help me, how to get/set these values for the
world file so that i can
	keep my raster data georeferenced with other layers in my
mapfile.

	Thanks in advance
	Raffle
