Some interesting comparisons on Google Trends:

ArcIMS vs. Mapserver

finally some time to try out the wps. Downloaded the client tar ball from here. Then had to modify the start up file for linux — it comes as a dos batch file — quite easy change to bash.

Ran the client and there it was the shiny new menu “WPS Client” Added the 52n’s service url and was connected.

then I invoke the buffer function on the tissot shapefile. Which froze the screen for a bit but came back with impressive results

very cool! So now to write my own algorithms.
