Plotting data to a Lambert Conformal Conic projection

I wish to plots some locations generally in the Continental US {~20N to
~50N and ~70W to ~130W}.

From looking at
www.colorado.edu/geography/gcraft/notes/mapproj/mapproj.html I assume I
am used to maps using a Lambert Conformal Conic projection.

My data is latitude and longitude (WGS 84 datum) and I wish my map to be
centered on the geographical center of the US. I've found the general
form of the equations at
http://surveying.wb.psu.edu/sur162/ConicComps/ConicComps.htm but the
constants are for a map in Pennsylvania and the image showing references
of the constants is to small. Best case: is there a program with
appropriate constants that I can work from?

TIA

This may be overkill, but it's free:

This is probably too tedious (one input/output at a time), but it's
interactive, appears to allow selection of projection type, etc.:

Not as much overkill as you might think ;)
It has batch file capability built in and it has been tested and debugged.

Those will be useful. I'm finding that I know even less than I thought.

Thank you.
