Thanks for clarification Markus, and thanks Helmut for similar input. So, the last problem is that

g.proj -c proj4=-

followed by input to stdin works, but I cannot seem to construct a file with proj4 parameters that g.proj will accept, even though identical information entered at stdin works. So, I'm still struggling for the syntax of aproj4 file I guess.

Thanks all, Dave

Hi Ken, Hi Sajid,

   Thanks for the pointers.  I think my problem is that grass70 and
g.proj parse the files differently.  I.e.,

Here is file teste.prj

PROJCS["Lambert_Conformal_Conic",
    GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",
        DATUM["D_WGS_1984",
            SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223563]],
        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
        UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],
    PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic"],
    PARAMETER["standard_parallel_1",40],
    PARAMETER["standard_parallel_2",45],
    PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0],
    PARAMETER["central_meridian",-109],
    PARAMETER["false_easting",0],
    PARAMETER["false_northing",0],
    UNIT["Meter",1]]

The following does not work

grass70 -e -c teste.prj teste

Creating new GRASS GIS location/mapset...
ERROR: ERROR 4: `teste.prj' not recognised as a supported
file format.

ERROR: Could not read georeferenced file teste.prj using either OGR nor
       GDAL

Yes because it is not a raster or vector file.

However, this does work

grass70 -c teste
g.proj -c wkt=teste.prj

This one is right.

   I'm having even worse luck with PROJ4 syntax of files.

AFAIK that's only supported in g.proj.

Markus
