Thank you. I saw the proj4js Trac website, but there were no tickets entered, so I assumed it was not in use. <BR>
<BR>
There is now one ticket open...hope someone else finds the NZMG transformation useful.<BR>

Cool! We're still in the process of moving the project infrastructure
for proj4js but in the meantime you can enter a ticket and patch in the
Trac system at: <A HREF="http://trac.osgeo.org/proj4js/">http://trac.osgeo.org/proj4js/</A>
And eventually it should make it's way into the code base.
