[GRASSLIST:1547] Re: new location

[Markus Neteler]

Hi all,

we have added false easting/false northing to Lambert Conformal Conic
projection in GRASS 5 (CVS). In next version it will appear.

Gaetan, you may contact me personally if you need it immediately.

Thanks to Morten Hulden for his quick fix,

 Markus Neteler
