Hi Frank,

Hey in the pcs.cvs file origins and central meridians are listed in what appears to be decimal degrees.  But the value is the same as degrees minutes.  

Is there a field to indicate interpret as degrees.minutes as opposed to decimal degrees?

Example:
pcs code 26961 Hawaii zone 1 has a:
origin 18 degrees 50 minutes N
central meridian 155 degrees 30 minutes W

In the cvs file it's:
18.5
-155.3

Any insight appreciated...
Dave
