Glynn,

   There's another discrepancy in the man page I should point out for
posterity: the syntax summary's last item. Notice:

SYNOPSIS
        cs2cs [ -eEfIlrstvwW [ args ] ] [ +opts[=arg] ]
              [ +to [+opts[=arg]] ] file[s]

   This indicates that one can use the command in a file (a shell script).
But, that does not work; it just sits there with no response. Apparently,
the command runs only from the command line.

Thanks again for your clarifications,

Rich
