Dear Espen, you can use 'include' for including multiple map files. Make one master map file, write extents etc there.. eg:
MAP NAME 'include' EXTENT 0 0 500 500 SIZE 250 250 INCLUDE "c:/ms4w/apps/partners/trialPost.map" INCLUDE "c:/ms4w/apps/partners/bangPost.map" END Then, in the included map files, just add the LAYER parts. Thats all ! Regard, Ritz Espen Isaksen wrote: > > Thanks!
