[Geotiff] Projection Linear Units and Ellipsoid:

[Reznik, Aleksandr]

Hello, 

I have a what appears to be a GeoTiff with the following info from
libtiff:

Corner Coordinates:

Center        (      0.000,4255742.321)

I am wondering what is missing in the Ellipsoid field (unknown) part and
how to get that into this file and also how do I encode the Projection
Linear Units, I want it to be 9001/metre.

Thanks,
Alex

Chris,

I think we can just ask Norm about the status of GeoTIFF Examiner
(cc:ed).  I
imagine he can confirm, or pass on a request allowing redistribution of
the
GeoTIFF Examiner.

I have cc:ed Norm.

I'd be happy to hold a copy for distribution on the geotiff download
site
if it is helpful.

Best regards,
