Claude,

These aren't the same projection definitions as found in the EPSG tables
(at least the EPSG 4.3 tables) which is an LCC 1SP projection with a scaling
factor.  How did you derive your projections, and are they equivelent to
the EPSG projections?  I am hesitant to incorporate them into the EPSG file
without greater confidence about their relationship to the EPSG definition.

Best regards,
