Duncan -
 
I will then thank your more successful Googling skills than mine - I didn't find it <g>.  I'll muck around and see if I can figure out a more standardized description of the projection.

	There is a description of this projection at
	
	http://openmap.bbn.com/doc/api/com/bbn/openmap/util/VHTransform.html
	
	(at the bottom of the page). The code used is open-source (it appears)
	and can be downloaded; go to http://openmap.bbn.com/ for information.
	
	The actual conversion code contained inside the Java is from other sources,
	and it is clear that this is something that even AT&T had difficulty
	sorting out later.
	
	I leave it up to the more expert to add this to PROJ, and to reverse-
	engineer the ellipsoid used.
	
	Don't thank me, thank Google.
