[gdal-dev] gdal_translate -a_srs

[Greg Coats]

gdal_translate -a_srs provides for the output file to be in a different projection than the input file.
What is the syntax for telling gdal_translate -a_srs to use the projection shown by gdalinfo to be used in the GeoTiff below, which is NAD 1983, UTM Zone 18N?
