looks about right.  Remember that you will need PROJECTION blocks for
the OTHER layers and for the top-level map file to accurately describe
the other inputs (if any) and the map image output projections as being
lat/lon.

Hello,

I am looking for a little help to re-project a map layer to LAT/LON for
a single layer.  Below is the <shapefile>.prj file - how do I define
this projection in the layer object of the map file?


PROJCS["unnamed",
GEOGCS["unnamed",DATUM["D_unnamed",SPHEROID["Clarke-1866",6378206.4,294.
978698213901]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]],
PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic"],
PARAMETER["standard_parallel_1",70],
PARAMETER["standard_parallel_2",50],
PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0],
PARAMETER["central_meridian",110],
PARAMETER["false_easting",0],
PARAMETER["false_northing",0],
UNIT["METER",1]]


Thanks,

Dan Barron
