[OpenLayers-Users] New to OpenLayers and loving it

[Shaun Aunchman]

Hi all,

Erik, I appreciate the direction you've provided. However I should be 
more pointed what i'd like to accomplish.

I'd like to use aerial photography (currently in mr. sid format) in 
conjunction with a vector roads style layer to create a basic map of a 
specific region. So,  i would like to know how to host and retrieve the 
images/vector road data (possibly by using MapServer to parse?). I'm 
sure there's too much involved in the process to explain in an email, 
but i'd appreciate any help/example code to better understand how it all 
works.

Thanks again,
  Shaun
