Colin,

I am afraid I have been unable to reproduce any of these problems.  I
download OpenEV_FW 1.6.3, and working from a stripped down environment was
able to expand EPSG:26967 (I used "testepsg EPSG:26967"), and to use
gdal_merge.py with the -n flag.

Is it possible you have other stuff setting the PYTHONPATH environment
variable, GDAL_DATA or other related environment variables?  What does your
"set" output look like after running setfw.bat?

Sometimes it seems so hard to get a clean binary distribution for windows
that works for everyone!

Best regards,
