 Replying to [ticket:551 isaacullah]:
 > Trying to create a location with EPSG codes in WinGRAS-6.4_RC3 using the
 WX-GUI gives following error: "Unable to read EPSG codes: string index out
 of range"
 >
 > The path to epsg file is correct, and the file is normal. It seems
 wingrass cannot parse the epsg file.
 >
 > Work around: Change directory symbol in path to epsg file from "\" to
 "/". Enter a known epsg code (eg. search spatialrefernce.org for the
 correct code) in the EPSG box, and press "next". Grass creates new
 location.
 >
 > This work around does not let one "Browse EPSG codes", however. If one
 trys to do so, the same error "Unable to read EPSG codes: string index out
 of range" pops up.
 >
 > This bug occurs in both osgeo4W version and the native installer version
 of WinGRASS-6.4_RC3

 Fixed in RC4, see also #554 for additional fixes.
