projection woes

[Ed McNierney]

Matt -

It's not a matter of MapServer being picky - the "epsg" is actually a
filename, and on case-sensitive operating systems, case matters.

You might try using "init=epsg:26717" instead of "init=EPSG:26717". I
know that some versions of mapserver are picky about this
capitalization.

Other than that, your mapfile looks like it should work.
