[GRASSLIST:8537] Re: EPSG: Basic question...

[Rhys Stewart]

Hi all,

two questions on the epsg files. First, who do I notify if an included
projection is incorrect (in my case JAD 69 is missing a few paramaters
so if I use the projection supplied stuff falls about 300m of) and how
can I get a projection added to the list?
