Good luck with your new assignment. You did a great
job on TopoZone.
A question for everybody on the list. When I go to
the Archives at
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/
and download the GZiped text file, I don't get
good text even after converting from UNIX to
DOS format. I get garbage like this:
œÔ⢲ž|¼…öò¥b!#²E¨ø›”ÊðÝ(–JùÂüZ`C¸uÍËã«<€{D
Can anybody suggest a method of obtaining the archives
in text format for easy searching?

mentioning "McNierney", or "TopoZone" or "raster" or all three, as I've
posted at length and repeatedly on this sort of topic before. Others
have done so as well - I just remember my own writings better <g>. I
successfully served over 50 TB of raster imagery to relatively heavy
user loads with MapServer, and commented frequently on the approach I used.

uncompressed simple raster format. PNG is an option, as is TIFF. If you
need 24-bit data you may want to consider tiled TIFFs using JPEG
compression as a compromise (again, search the archives for this topic,
especially comments by Frank Warmerdam).
