This enables thread locking in multithreaded environments (I think). > SUPPORTS=GEOS -> Geos is used by PostGIS, but for what does Mapserver need that? The MapServer CGI doesn't use GEOS. However there is access to most GEOS operators and spatial predicates via MapScript so you can do buffers, intersection tests and so on in that environment. > Why are INPUT=SHAPEFILE and INPUT=JPEG are listed even if INPUT=OGR and INPUT=GDAL are written? > ? OGR/GDAL already mean that JPEG andShapes are implemented??? Isn`t that a "double-listing"? MapServer has native interfaces to a few vector and image formats. For vector formats the support is there for performance reasons (one less translation to go through) while vector formats are largely historical in nature and may go away. For instance, you get JPEG because GD supports it. Steve >>> Jakob Mautberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/17/07 3:06 AM >>> Dear list, I have got a question.
