Hi All,

I am trying to convert a shape using OGR calls from Lon/Lat to
California VII State Plane Projection.  I get Easting and Northing out
of it, but when I try to use other tools (ArcMap, OSSIM, Corpscon 6)
they interpret these easting and northing values to be in a completely
different place.  Here are the values:
PROJ.4 coordinate system string:
	+proj=lcc +lat_2=34.41666666666666 +lat_1=33.86666666666667
+lat_0=34.13333333333333 +lon_0=-118.3333333333333
+x_0=1276106.450596901 +y_0=127079.524511049 +ellps=clrk66
+datum=NAD27 +to_meter=0.3048006096012192 +no_defs

Original Lon/Lat:  -117.2038, 32.7161

OGR/Proj.4 Output: 4534220.33, -96890.84

Other Tools' idea of what easting/northing for this lon/lat should be:
4534487.622, 3647093.557

Other Tools' idea of where OGR/Proj.4-converted easting/northing values
are: -117.324683175, 22.495186883.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

Rostic
