[mapserver-users] MSCompanion v1.0 alpha3 is available

[enri]

James Perrins,

Thank you very much for your careful analysis. Obviously you are right, I will fix these problems in alpha4.
I took it for granted the dependent dlls should locate at the same directory as libmap.dll, that's the reason caused the PATH problem.

Thank you again.

Best regards£¬
Enri¡¡¡¡
