No problem,

I will take care of that, since i was busy with the server and the data i
spent too little attention to the text pages on the site. The output in the
sense of png images you can do anything with you like...

I will fix my statement on the source data copyright if you want, although
we haven't decided on selling or giving away the data, i am aware that we
can if we want... Personally i would prefer this data to be free as
intended, but our backbone is not wide enough to simply add the downloading
of this data to the map server traffic....

If remember correctly it was 1991 when i started working on a windows viewer
to browse the data from my PC-arcinfo projects, my company (delft hydraulics
back then) started using the tool for displaying time series from simulation
model output on maps and animating them through time, then this thing called
the Map Engine came alive. Because it is dramatically faster then commercial
GIS software i know of and the licensing of the software is project based,
we continue to use the map engine in our projects, developing turn-key
information systems.

The idea of hooking up our map engine to IIS popped up a few months ago, so
we added another interface DLL for this.

Anyway, i will update the page monday with more explicit statement about
what is free and what is not...

Thanks for your feedback

Bart
