+A XSL Transform that converts ArcIMS .axl files into ~equivalent Mapserver
+.map files. This transform does the grunt work involved in translating ArcIMS
+.axl files into Mapserver .map files. The transform isn't perfect. Limitations
+of XSL and some differences between .axl format and .map format make it
+difficult to convert everything perfectly. Translation of layers with basic
+styling and scale restrictions works well. After the script is run, some
+manual effort is required to fill in the missing details in the output .map
+file. In particular, the layer DATA lines may be incomplete. How to run it:
+Run the XSL Transform through any XSL engine. I've always used Java Xalan, but
+it should work with other engines too. 
+
+::
+    
+    java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN foo.axl -XSL axl2map.xsl -OUT foo.map
