Hi Helmut,

Thanks for the advice so far.

If I could get GRASS to define the lat,lon boundaries as I tried to do in my last email, but without crashing, wouldn't that solve this?

And perhaps I'm still confused, but the projection is *known*, even if it isn't encoded in this file. If this were known as 33N instead of 33X, I could define a location with an EPSG code, and then import with "r.in.gdal -o", where "-o" is "Override projection (use location's projection)". It seems like I should be able to do something similar, but I may need to define the projection with a WKT file or proj4 code which can support 33X.

  -k.
