mapserver 5 parallel to mapserver 4?

[Piero Cavalieri]

For cgi, the dlls can be in the same mapserv.exe directory, so there
shouldn't conflicts (maybe...).I remember I used a configuration in which I
had mapserv.exe (with all the required dlls) in the Scripts directory, and
in the same dir, another dir with another set of exe/dlls (the first one was
from MS4Win, used for WMS with AGG output, the last one was from FWtools,
used for WCS). For me this seemed to work (but I used this configuration ony
a bit on my devel machine...).

Why cgi should be used only for a trial ?

Cheers
 Piero
