<br><br>I am trying to use the following projection file in a MS4W mapfile. To<br>do so I have added it to the espg file in the proj libraries. This<br>seems to almost be working as below but I the reference latitute isn't
<br>included. How would I modify that ESPG file entry to include a<br>reference parallel. Alternatively is there a resource would outlines<br>all the variables you can use in such a file? I don't even necessarily<br>need to use the fake ESPG number in ESPG file combo. Is there a
<br>resource that specifies all the parameters you can use to define a<br>projection in a map file?<br><br>#<ESPG Entry><br><20851> +proj=lcc +lat_0=9.930000 +lon_0=-84.333333 +k_0=1<br>+x_0=499784.42 +y_0=271970.62
