[Qgis-user] Projection not recognised EPSG:31259

[Werner Macho]

Hi!

You mean there's no rely to any .prj file i'll get anywhere?
I mean - I understand that I should controll in every step i do if the 
results are ok or not .. but .. at least I thought (beside of 
controlling afterwards) that a projection should at least be recognised 
at what it is..
And that seems not to be the case allthough it is definitely an EPSG 
31259 ..
So which program has a wrong database or where does this translation 
failure happen?

regards
Werner
