[GRASS5] [bug #4190] (grass) Could not import a NB Double Ste reographic shapefile - used EPSG #2036

[Patton, Eric]

Thanks for looking into this, Markus!

The link to your conversation with Frank didn't post properly, though.

I verified the ogrinfo command below. This documentation indeed is tricky, I
would have never thought from reading it that you must enter in datasource
AND layer - this is conterintuitive, at least for me; specifying one
parameter should print all info, IMHO.

Eric,

this also confused me - but it's the usage of ogrinfo
(I didnÃ't manage to convince Frank to change that, see our
recent GDAL-ML communication):

Try instead:

ogrinfo -so 45256600_h_r.shp 45256600_h_r

then you'll see the proj info.
