Thanks frank. However I'm not getting the right results when comparing the data with what it looks like in ArcMap.
Maybe you can explain this to me!!! My data is in this projection +proj=goode +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m and mapserver renders an image that looks like the attached +image worldLayerAsGooode.png When I try the reproject the layer using this projection +proj=utm +zone=55 +units=m +ellps=aust_SA +south in the map file mapserver renders an +image that looks like worldLayerAsAussie.png. This is not what it should look like. If I reproject the data in ArcMap to use the Aussie projection you translated for me earlier it looks like worldLayerDataReprojected.png So I did one more test, If I export my data out of ArcMap using the Aussie projection and have my map file reference that data it displays the world as worldLayerDataReprojected.png. So the only conclusion that I can come up with is that Proj.4 definition of +proj=utm +zone=55 +units=m +ellps=aust_SA +south is not coorect. Any ideas? Thanks, DaviD
