[mapserver-users] Disregard ECW header for TFW in TILEINDEX ?

[Lars I. Nielsen (GisPro)]

Hi Frank,

Ok, I learned another new thing today :-)

TFW worked fine in 4.x. I did notice mention of an alternative extension 
named WLD sometime back, but never paid full attention to its implications.

Is WLD an officially supported extension, or is it Mapserver and/or 
OSGeo specific ?
