Glynn,

   I had been using v.proj, but discovered what appeared to be the problem:
same name for location, input file, and output file. When I changed the
source (LL) location to TIGER, the input file name to 'edges', the output
location to streetsLCC, and the output file to 'streets' it worked just
fine.

   g.region was used only to set the region from the included map, not to
reproject it.

Thanks,

Rich
