[mapserver-users] ShpTree

[Fischer, Brian]

Jay,

With the MS4W package it is included in the C:\ms4w\tools\mapserv
folder.  You just need to make sure you run the setenv.bat first before
you run shptree command.  There is documentation in the MS4W readme
files that explain it further.  That is what I use all the time.

Example:
    shptree streets.shp
That will create streets.qix

Note that for Mapserver (rather, OGR) to USE the qix file, you must not
specify the .shp extension in your DATA statement. If you do, the qix
will simply be skipped. e.g.
    DATA "data/streets/streets.shp"
should be:
    DATA "data/streets/streets"
(someone correct me if this has changed)
