MapServer 7.x CGI
current version installed: 7.0.6


 * A statically compiled "mapserv70" CGI has been compiled to support the V7+ tutorial. This is a static build so it has no external dependency.
 * Web URL: http://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/mapserv70
 * Source build in /osgeo/mapserver/mapserver-git-branch-7-0/build
 * Note that this binary has to be installed under the FGS server's /osgeo/mapserver/fgs/www/cgi-bin/ directory since that's where the http://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/ points to
 * Administrators: dmorissette / jmckenna
