      I am using GDAL<br>
      Version     : 1.9.2<br>
      <br>
      so maybe that is why I do not see the method SetGCPProjection().<br>
      <br>
      I think you have convinced me, though, to calculate the 6
      coefficients directly,<br>
      and then call SetGeoTransform().  Will let you guys know how this
      works out<br>
      for me.<br>
      <br>
      Thank you,<br>
