[MetaCRS] Where's Denmark gone?

[Hugues Wisniewski]

Hello Steve,

You'll most likely get a more accurate answer from Norm Olsen when he reads this

You're right these Danish systems are not in the open source repository of CsMap because of legal reasons
Check out the content of the source file to understand how to get to the polynomial coefficients for Danish System 34 used in those systems:
http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/csmap/trunk/CsMapDev/Source/CSsys34KMS.c

You'll read that these coefficients are freely available from KMS but KMS never allowed them to be posted on osgeo.org

Are there any issues with the CSMap dictionary compiler? I ran it to convert the various *.ASC files, but when I loop through the resultant *.CSD files (with calls to CS_csrd), I seem to be missing a few Danish systems. Searching coordsys.asc for "CS_NAME: Denmark", I get this:

  Line 38672: CS_NAME: Denmark-S34-J
  Line 38685: CS_NAME: Denmark-S34-S
  Line 38698: CS_NAME: Denmark-S45-B
  Line 42340: CS_NAME: DenmarkS34-J
  Line 42353: CS_NAME: DenmarkS34-S
  Line 42366: CS_NAME: DenmarkS45-B
  Line 42379: CS_NAME: DenmarkS34-J99
  Line 42392: CS_NAME: DenmarkS34-S99
  Line 42405: CS_NAME: DenmarkS45-B99
  Line 42418: CS_NAME: DenmarkS45-B01
  Line 42450: CS_NAME: Denmark-KP2000-J
  Line 42464: CS_NAME: Denmark-KP2000-Z
  Line 42478: CS_NAME: Denmark-KP2000-B

But when I iterate using CS_csrd, I only get the 3 Denmark-KP systems. Could this be intentional (i.e. is there something that says the other systems should be ignored)?

Actually, it looks like there must be some other missing systems. When I count the number of "CS_NAME:" strings in coordsys.asc, I get 6338 occurrences. But a loop using CS_csrd only produces 6267 systems.
