Hi,

I'm trying to add a Projection Object to my map file, using a custom =
projection.  I've added a projection object to the map, and one to the =
only layer, a raster image.  The projection information is as follows -=20

PROJECTION
    \\proj=3Dtmerc\\
    \\lat_0=3D0.000000000\
    \\lon_0=3D-117.000000000\\=20
    \\k=3D0.999600\\
    \\x_0=3D500000.000\\
    \\y_0=3D0.000\\
    \\ellps=3DWGS84\\=20
    \\units=3Dm\\
    \\no_defs\\
END

The '\\' were originally ' " '; each time I save the map file or click =
Apply Changes, the " are replaced with one set of \.

When I try to preview the map I get the following error message -=20

 Warning: MapServer Error in msProcessProjection(): projection not named =
in C:\www\ms\maplab\htdocs\common\wrapper\map_session.php on line 208=20

The map I was building was working great until I added projection =
information; I've reinstalled Proj.4 twice, I'm sure it's installed =
correctly.

Can anyone suggest where I should start looking for the problem?

Thanks.

Nathan
