Subject: Trouble with Projection - LCC



I'm trying to plot a property parcel shp file, and it keeps plotting in
Pennsylvania instead of North Carolina.

It also prints out the wrong size.  (much to big )



I've posted my parcel layer (from the .map file )  and the PRJ file that
came with the shp file.

What am I doing wrong ?



My map file output projection is :

PROJECTION

  "proj=longlat"

  "ellps=WGS84"

END



Thanks !



Jim
