Map File Problem?

I tried the shp2img utility.  I ended up with a perfect picture of a map of 
the United States.  No errors were generated at all shp2img.  So I would 
guess that the culprit is not the map file.  Once I actually get my project 
deployed correctly, I will also post some of the errors generated.
