[Proj] reprojection of sites within SHP file to standard output

[Eric Miller]

I think you might be thinking of a contrib program distributed with
Frank's Shapelib.  It depends on proj.4 libraries (and associated datum
files).
See "shpproj.c" in the contrib directory:

pw,

I seem to remember reprojecting SHP files before. PROJ was even
creating 
a new PRJ file for me. I thought that if Proj can reproject a whole 
shape file that it might be able to do components thereof.  The script

you speak of, is it an avenue script?  ANy open source solutions as I
am 
avoid running arcview. proof of concept.

cheers
