Things are comming along but .... pleaselook at this mapfile dump

[Joseph Norris]

Thanks Eric,

I set the projections as you indicate below in my map and in each layer - I
still see now points for the list of features that I have.

#Joseph Norris (Perl - what else is there?/Linux/CGI/Mysql) print @c=map chr
$_+100,(6,17,15,16,-68,-3,10,11,16,4,1,14,-68,12,1,14,8,-68,4,-3,-1,7,1,14,-
68,-26,11,15,1,12,4,-68,-22,11,14,14,5,15,-90);

Joseph,

By looking in my epsg file (which comes with the proj4 install, on my
freeBSD system: /usr/local/share/proj it looks like your shape file has
an EPSG code of 26942.(California Zone 2)  You can use the following
PROJECTION:

PROJECTION
    "init=epsg:26942"
END

For UNITS you would use "feet" not DD.

HTH.
