Ok, that's cool, so that's in the GDAL stuff, interesting.  Learn 
something everyday.  Although I didn't see any reference to it anywhere 
in my searching.

So I took the above and made this Map File, is the correct way to 
implement (it didn't work, I get a blank page still):

MAP
  NAME 'test'
  SIZE 800 650
  STATUS ON
  EXTENT 332000 -18000 678000 328000
  UNITS FEET

  PROJECTION
    "init=epsg:26915"
  END

  LAYER
    NAME 'tlg01'
    DATA './data/tlg01/tlg_roads_l'
    STATUS DEFAULT
    TYPE LINE

    PROJECTION
      "proj=lcc"
      "lat_1=44.88333333333333"
      "lat_2=45.13333333333333"
      "lat_0=44.79111111111111"
      "lon_0=-93.38333333333334"
      "x_0=152400.3048"
      "y_0=30480.06096"
      "a=6378418.941"
      "b=6357033.31"
      "to_meter=0.3048006096012192"
      "no_defs"
    END
  END

END ## end Map

Thanbks for the help on this
