GIF TAB

[Hallgren Johan E]

Hello Frank and Steve,

I looked in the nmake.opt-file and saw that I only use GDAL as input
provider, and in that case Franks answer was sufficient. We will try to
manage this specific format some other ways.

Thanks
Johan

Mapserver has input data providers like a Shapefile provider that handle

input from shapefiles. I also has (deprecated?) TIFF provider that 
expects some flavor of world file and if has GDAL and OGR providers that

support a wide range of input providers. Since each input provider, 
which are not part of the mapserver development (for the most part), 
have their own symantecs with respect to world file support, you really 
need to be somewhat aware of which provider you are trying to use, and 
to be aware of what they support.

So it would be helpful if you can post the output of:

mapserv -v

and maybe some details about the data you are trying to display.
