[Arnulf Christl]

Hey List,
in case you have to do with Oracle. This is a follow up to a mail from 
April 6th this year

We have asked Oracle and they have reacted. Go to the list of Oracle 
Spatial/Locator technology partners
http://otn.oracle.com/products/spatial/spatial_partners.htm
and find UMN MapServer there, it is listed and linked right at the 
bottom titled "University of Minnesota"

Cheers,
Arnulf.

Hallo deutsche Liste,
Oracle hat den UMN MapServer in die Liste der "Spatial and Location 
Services Partners" aufgenommen.
http://otn.oracle.com/products/spatial/spatial_partners.htm

Das kann möglicherweise ein gutes Entscheidungsargument für den Einsatz 
der UMN MapServer Software bei Anwendern sein, die bereits Oracle 
Spatial einsetzen.

Gruß,
Arnulf Christl.
