Hi

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but Ive looked in all the usual places and dont understand the answers Ive found :-).

I have Mapserv 4 running with demo data and Im in the process of loading some real data - I have a bunch of (.shp etc) files that are topographic layers of my local area (eastern Australia)

Can someone at least point me towards some info that will help me specify my layers corectly.  At the moment I am stuck at specifying the projection objects.
each of the layers in my data comes with a .prj file that invariably is:
GEOGCS["GCS_GDA_1994",DATUM["D_GDA_1994",SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137.0,298.257222101]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]]

thanx in advance 
Gabe
