Teresa:  
I wrote a script r.proj which you can find bundled up with a 
Gmakefile, etc at 

ftp://ftp.ned.dem.csiro.au/pub/r.proj.tar.gz

You need to have Gerry Evenden's PROJ software installed, and 
also Darrell McCauley's s.sample.  On the latter, however, we 
have also enhanced s.sample to make improvements in the memory 
management.  This reduces the time to re-project some maps from 
>24 hours to a matter of minutes, so is strongly recommended.  
Our s.sample can also be found at 

ftp://ftp.ned.dem.csiro.au/pub/s.sample.tar.gz

The r.proj script has only been tested on mercator, simple conic, 
and UTM (from memory ...) and will almost certainly need some 
tinkering with for other projections.  It all depends on the 
argument list passed to the "proj" steps.  There are normally 
two calls to "proj" - one inverse, to get from your source 
projection to lat-long, and then one forward to get from lat-long 
to your target projection.  You should inspect the code for 
both of these steps.  

Good luck				Simon Cox
