[Proj] Projection of SHP file nightmare.

[Dave Sampson]

Problem:
----------------
Wanting to display various shape files (and a DEM raster) that use 
varying projection or that are un-projected on a X-Y grid. The X-Y grids 
I believe I could guess at a few potential projections. The challenge 
has been to get them to all show up together.

using GRASS I can get each to display on their own and have followed all 
the docs, mailing lists etc for all the sotware that I'm using. Is there 
another way?

I know the *.prj files hold projection data. Can you 'trick' the files 
by editing those?

Main Projection (of projected and unprojected data)
-----------------------------
UTM
NAD83 zone 18 (18T according to topographic series if that makes a 
difference)



Primary Software tools
----------------------------------------
GRASS
QGIS
UDIG
UDIG
(would like to avoid booting up windows to use ARCVIEW, GFOSS should be 
at this stage)

Extra notes:
--------------------
In reference to my next mailing to the list I get these lines when I run 
PROJ from the prompt. Any ideas?
