RE: FW: maptest.tgz

I am uplaoding the new archive.

I will take your advice on spliting the archive for final release
after bugs had been fixed.  My plan is to have one archive with executables
only with
DLL and *.exe and necessary files to use x-server.  The other archive for
developers.

The bad archive problem came due to bzip2, whenever i used bzip2 precompiled
for
Windows from sourceware.cygnus.com/bzip2, it messed up the archive.
I create bzip2 archive using bzip2 compiled with Cygwin myself or on the
Linux
box, it works ok.  Sorry about it.


You may have to uplaod again.  Sorry for inconvience.

Thanks
Suhaib
