[GRASS-user] Most efficient way to import a lat-lon shapefile into, say, a Lambert Conic Conformal location?

[Thomas Adams]

Carlos,

Thank you for your help. It sounds like I might as well write a simple 
script because anytime I would want to do this, I would need to create a 
new location. Either I would end up with a bunch of lat-lon locations, 
or I would need to delete the one I just created afterwards. So, I might 
as well write a simple script to handle this process and do the clean-up.

Regards,
Tom
