[mapserver-users] lcc projection doesnt output map

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Mark,

You need to change

UNITS DD
to
UNITS METERS

and you need to change

EXTENT -143 39 -50 85
to
EXTENT ...

where ... is the longlat coordinates above converted to their equivalent 
values in LCC

On linux you might from cs2cs command helpful, you might also find some 
online projection conversion utilities.
