Hello

I wanted to display a map of spain using MapServer, but got somewhat distorted
map. The map is exported from MapInfo with shapefile format. I figure I might
be the projection problem, but I don't know anything about projection. I tried
some different parameters, but they didn't work. The Information about the
shapefile is as follows:

"INFO: Open of `Spain_Regions_region.shp'
using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.

Layer name: Spain_Regions_region
Geometry: Polygon
Feature Count: 70
Extent: (-9.596133, 35.936264) - (4.406813, 43.761193)
Layer SRS WKT:
GEOGCS["Lat Long for MAPINFO type 0 Datum ",
    DATUM["MAPINFO",
        SPHEROID["World Geodetic System of 1984",6378137,298.257222932867]],
    PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
    UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]]
DISTRICT: String (20.0)
OGRFeature(Spain_Regions_region):0
  DISTRICT (String) = Álava"

Can anybody tell me what parameters do I need to use for projection, or if it is
cased by other problem? Thank you very much.

Cliff
