[postgis-users] Data/example mapfile for PostGIS MUM Workshop Notes

Mon Jun 30 18:15:29 2003

Hi Alain,

I don't think I can give out the shapefiles that were used in the tutorial, as 
we don't really own them. However, I have added the example mapfile from the 
workshop to the newspost that has links to the other files from the workshop.

I hope you find it useful.
