happening now.

Well, I guess my next step is to make a request for enhancement to ESRI 
and hope it doesn't take too long to get actioned. And here I thought 
all we needed to do was get Yukon Albers into the EPSG database and then 
wait a few months... I should know better, I really should ;-)

cheers,
