Robert,

I have added limited support for parsing prj.adf files to the AIGrid reader
(most of the code is in OGRSpatialReference::importFromESRI() in 
gdal/ogr/ogr_srs_esri.cpp). However, your file will not work. How is the
zone supposed to be established from your prj.adf file? Why does a UTM
projection have parameters in the parameters list?

Best regards,
