Introduction

ESRI map server "ArcIMS" is an excellent tool to build amazing interactive maps. The server can handle fairly complex datasets and is able to handle basic geographic commands such as color features on the fly, select features, make buffers and much much more. There are many examples today using the flash mapping tools.
