This is where all the fontset, symbolset, dataset and mapfiles reside.  If you
wish to add new map layers, just create a subdirectory for each dataset you and 
then create a mapfile from within--have a look at the example data directories 
to get an idea of how this works.

A separate mapfile at the root level of this directory, called "web_config.map", 
contains MapServer MAP object keywords.  Here you can set web-related keywords 
such as IMAGEPATH, IMAGEURL, and TEMPLATE.  This mapfile is read by all the 
other mapfiles in the dataset subdirectories using the INCLUDE keyword.  The 
idea behind this is that you only have to change the WEB settings once and it 
will be propagated to all the other mapfiles... This doesn't quite work as 
planned as MapServer's INCLUDE currently requires that you specify the full
path to the included file.  So, if you install this application in a different
root directory (other than /ms4w/apps/), you will still have to manually edit 
each mapfile to update the INCLUDE path.

Another mapfile, identify.map, is used by the "Identify" tool in the demo.  Have a look and edit as you like.

The XML files in this directory are used as placeholder for MapServer maps and queries.  You may leave them as is or edit as you please.

In addition to "web_config.map" and the datasets, this directory contains the 
following subdirectories:

     fonts   - this directory contains the fontset list and the truetype
               fonts used by the GeoMOOSE demo application.  Microsoft TrueType
               fonts are free to use but are not redistributable.  If you are
               on Windows platform, please copy the TrueType fonts from your
               C:\Windows\fonts to this directory.  If you are on Linux,
               Unix, or some other platform, you will have to download and
               install these fonts from this URL:
               http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/.
               The Bitstream Vera font set is included in this distribution but 
               if you'd like to use Microsoft's fonts, you have to copy them to 
               this directory manually. The "fonts" directory is not web
               accessible.

     symbols - the symbols directory contains the MapServer symbol sets and
               graphics used for symbols and labels.  This is not a web
               accessible directory.
