<DIV>Brent,</DIV>

<DIV>I figured out the publishing problem (my error) for the Web Interface. This link should work now:</DIV>

<DIV>It will give you a better idea of the labeling problems at different scales of view that I'm running into.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We actually did some code change in MapServer to get to the point of even coming close to the USNG formats, but it still comes up short.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
