<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That fixed it. Even though ArcGIS cannot tell the
projection, putting that option in makes it look at the coordinate values, and
recognises them as degrees.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would open a bug, but I lost my password, and the
password reminders don't seem to arrive.... Is that a problem on my
side?</FONT></DIV>
