FW: [Mapserver-users] Need Info and Help for a first test

[Gregory S. Williamson]

Harato -- 
It is best if you can ask the whole list ... you've exceeded my knowledge (easy to do) so I've cc'ed the list with your question.

Sorry I can't be of more help but I am also a beginner.

Thanks for help.

Actually i can't use Arcview so i've used shpinfo and
the only information i've :

File Bounds: (148280, 2267320) (272830, 2370725)

i think 
minX=148280 minY=2267320 maxX=272830 maxY=2370725

and unit=DD

but nothing is displayed.

Do you now projection is really necessary ?
how i can have ?
