What is the accuracy? I need circa 1m. Is it possible if I use the 'stere'
projection for Polish Roussilhe grid?

Do you need any help with the Polish papers?
Besides: I've got 2 *.xls calculators for GPS to "1965" grid conversion
based somewhat on Gauss-Kruger (I don't quite get it how). Maybe you could
make some use of them?

Roger that.
