[Gdal-dev] Shapefile and SpatialRef problem

[Gauthier,Jean-Philippe [CMC]]

	You're right, I just added the \n in the .prj file and it works.
I did use gdal from fwtool 1.1.3 that I got this morning. Seems it going
to hev to be rebuilt.

	Thanks

	JP

Jean-Philippe,

Can you be specific?  Perhaps file a bug including a dataset
demonstrating the problem, and indications of your platform, etc.

Note, there was a problem introduced just after the 1.4.0 release was
snapped that made it into the FWTools 1.1.3 release that resulted in
.prj files with no newline not being read properly.  There was also a
bug fixed before 1.4.0 was snapped with .prj files of a particular
length.  So I'm very nervous about this area of code, but I was under
the impression the release itself was clean.

Best regards,
