[OSRS-PROJ] Proj.exe configuration or installation

[Paul Selormey]

Hello Glynn,
Thanks for the response.
Your suggestion works. However, why does the commandline in the proj4
commandline
manual works for my own compillation, which does not specify the ellipsoid?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------
K:\Download\GIS\lib\Projection\Projection\Output>proj +proj=utm
+lon_0=112w -r
45d15'33.1" 111.5W
460770.43       5011865.86
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------

They both give the same results too :-(

Best regards,
Paul.
