[Proj] OT: Geotrans's Neys Projection - Modified Lambert Conformal Conic

[proj-admin at remotesensing.org]

I cannot find any reference to "Neys" projection in my references or 
bibiography
listings.

Snyder mentions some alternative Lambert Conics; one based upon "Gauss
projection."  Perhaps using the conformal projection to the sphere?  
But Neys
never appears in any index.  Perhaps Russian, but the name does not 
sound
like a Russian name.

The NIMA GeoTrans stuff is completely incomprehensible so I was not able
to verify the location of any related material in the remotesensing 
distribution.

If anyone can supply a reference I would be glad to look into it.
