[mapserver-users] lcc projection doesnt output map

[Mark Mirrlees]

I dont have linux, im using windows based mapserver...plus I can't figure out how to work the conversion. So i'm not sure what the numbers should be.... and do I have to change anything in what I have bolded?   PROJECTION
 "proj=lcc"
 "ellps=GRS80"
 "lat_0=-143"
 "lon_0=-39"
 "lat_1=-50"
 "lat_2=85"
 "datum=NAD83"
 "units=m"
 "no_defs"
