[mapserver-users] Making mapserver into a WMS

[Jeff McKenna]

Matt,

Since you are using MS4W you might also want to check out the  
following ms4w add-on packages:

1) MapServer OGC Web Services Workshop
2) GMap75 PHP/MapScript Sample Application (the localhost page shows  
locally served WMS URLs)
