Hi Folks,

I'm in a bit of a pickle.  I am preparing some maps for a grant proposal and 
wanted to add some good vector maps for lakes and oceans.  The problem is these 
vector maps are in latitude/longitude and I need to convert them to Irish 
National Grid.  I tried using v.proj in GRASS but ran into problmes (and that 
is a different list group anyway).  After searching the internet I discovered 
CRS.

I made sure properties was set to IRENET95/Irish Transverse Mercator and 
checked Enable 'on the fly' CRS transformation.  Then I right clicked the 
vector layer and selected "Set Layer CRS" and set it, again, for IRENET95/Irish 
Transverse Mercator.  If I accept what is there already as right, all the lakes 
wound up in South America.  It looks like the lat/long numbers didn't convert 
over.  Is there a way to manually move them into position and make it away that 
this is it's right and proper position under IRENET95/Irish Transverse Mercator?

Thanks for any help.

Kurt D. Springs
