Hi Mike,

Oh, naturally.  I had forgotten that even I seem to have -lco SRID
parameter included in all the scripts I have written myself.  But how
about appendind the data?  Using -a_srs does not work and using "-lco
SRID=2393" together with "-append" gives a message

"WARNING: Layer creation options ignored since an existing layer is
being appended to."
