Hi,

I have the listed the gdalinfo listing of an erdas imagine file below and
notice that it does not have a EPSG code within it.  I need this EPSG code
if I want to reproject within gdalwarp or for on the fly projection within
mapserver.  Based the gdalinfo listing I searched within the epsg file and
found the following code and definition:

# WGS 84 / UTM zone 18N
<32618> +proj=utm +zone=18 +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs  <>

Does the above EPSG code of 32618 make sense for the below gdalinfo listing?

Thanks,

John J . Mitchell
