Hi

This is rather question for Polish GRASS users....

Did anyone notice what had happed with "PUWG 1965" within Proj4 EPSG 
database?

Since PROJ version 4.6 is :

<2173> +proj=sterea +lat_0=53.58333333333334 +lon_0=17.00833333333333 
+k=0.9998 +x_0=3501000 +y_0=5999000 +ellps=krass +units=m +no_defs  <>

but shoud be:
"+proj=sterea +lat_0=53.58333333333334 +lon_0=17.00833333333333 
+k=0.9998 +x_0=3501000 +y_0=5999000 +ellps=krass 
+towgs84=33.4,-146.6,-76.3,-0.359,-0.053,0.844,-0.84 +units=m +no_defs";

and it causes error when zone 1-4 is choosed:

WARNING:
Datum <Pulkowo_1942_58> not recognised by GRASS and no parametrs found


And what had happend with "PUWG1942"? Dissapeared???

Both 1965 and 1942 still exist in original EPSG and POSTGIS so I'm 
confused...

any suggestions?

J.
