<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=701055720-22102004>I am trying to use
OGR to load some shape files with the following esri projections (.prj).
As I understand it, OGR/Proj should be able to convert the following projection
names to the corresponding proj4 names. I have used both the importFromWKT
and importFromESRI functions but keep getting the error - "projection not named"
error. I have attached <SPAN class=820092115-25102004>some of
</SPAN>the prj files.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
