[mapserver-users] From MS 5.6 SYMBOL into 6.0 STYLE

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

I managed to make these changes to symbols and layer-class-styles as
well as some other changes and additions needed in Layer-Labels and my
map lives again. Thank you Jeff, Christy and Thomas.

Do we have any good tool with GUI for building mapfiles with advanced
styles? Writing everything by hand is little bit complicated, at least
for me.
