Map file with 35,000+ Lines... management issue

[riteshambastha]

Dear Espen,

you can use 'include' for including multiple map files. 
Make one master map file, write extents etc there.. eg:

MAP
 NAME 'include'
 EXTENT 0 0 500 500
 SIZE 250 250

 INCLUDE "c:/ms4w/apps/partners/trialPost.map"
 INCLUDE "c:/ms4w/apps/partners/bangPost.map"
END


Then, in the included map files, just add the LAYER parts. 

Thats all !

Regard,
Ritz
