Hi again.
It looks like the crs argument no longer works when creating a raster from a
file. I've tried all kinds of "variations on the theme" also, but no luck.
Weird.
Thanks
Erin

Hi,
I apologize - I must have mistakenly copied/pasted only the last "t"
Here is how it was run, and the results, in R 3.0.0 (64-bit):
> test<-raster("us_ppt_1981_2010.02.asc", crs="+proj=longlat +ellps=GRS80")
> test
class : RasterLayer
dimensions : 3105, 7025, 21812625 (nrow, ncol, ncell)
resolution : 0.008333333, 0.008333333 (x, y)
extent : -125.0208, -66.47917, 24.0625, 49.9375 (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
coord. ref. : NA
data source : D:\GIS\PRISM\1981-2010\PPT\us_ppt_1981_2010.02.asc
names : us_ppt_1981_2010.02
values : -2147483648, 2147483647 (min, max)
and in R 2.13.0 (also 64-bit):
> test<-raster("us_ppt_1981_2010.02.asc", crs="+proj=longlat +ellps=GRS80")
> test
class : RasterLayer
dimensions : 3105, 7025, 21812625 (nrow, ncol, ncell)
resolution : 0.008333333, 0.008333333 (x, y)
extent : -125.0208, -66.47917, 24.0625, 49.9375 (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
coord. ref. : +proj=longlat +ellps=GRS80
values : D:\GIS\PRISM\1981-2010\PPT\us_ppt_1981_2010.02.asc

Please report on the actual code you ran, you've just sent two
messages, one with
test<-raster("us_ppt_1981_2010.02.asc", crs="+ellps=GRS80")
this correctly cannot set the CRS and so it is NA
and the other with
t<-raster("us_ppt_1981_2010.02.asc", crs="+proj=longlat +ellps=GRS80")
> test
We have no idea what you see in "t" now. In short you have to have a
"+proj", not just a "+ellps" for this incantation. You can check with
library(rgdal)
CRS("+ellps=GRS80")
Error in CRS("+ellps=GRS80") : projection not named
