Hello all,
I am successfully producing maps of America.  But I can seem to get the
maps to "squish" together to look like a mercator projection.
America looks elongated as opposed to the way we see it on a globe/map 
like mercator or aea.
Basically, no matter what I change the projections don't affect the
output.
I even tried the pre-built binaries to make sure we didn't leave anything
out.

Here is info from my .map file.

PROJECTION
        "proj=merc"
#        "ellps=GRS80"
	"ellps=clrk66"
        "zone=15"
        "north"

#
#	"proj=aea"
#        "ellps=clrk66"
#        "lon_0=180"
	"lat_0=180"
	"lat_1=80"
        "lat_2=80"
#        "x_0=10000"
#        "y_0=10000"

END
