[Proj] Sum: Aruba projection (Milo van der Linden)

[Milo van der Linden]

Dear Clifford,

I am speachless, this is exactly what I need! There was absolutely no 
place on the internet where I could find this, we even contacted Aruba 
authorities, but they haven't answered up to now. I am now going to 
implement these parameters into my projection-conversion to get them to 
GoogleEarth. Once I got them all in line, I will report the resulting 
proj4 string back to the mailing list.

Again, thank you so very much and I hope Steffen can also benefit from 
your knowledge.

If at any point in time you need someone to research exotic datums and 
projections for you, I would be happy to volunteer! It seems like a 
dreamjob to travel the world for that purpose ;)

Kind regards,

Milo van der Linden

A pdf file of the column may be downloaded from www.ASPRS.org/resources/grids.  The other datums and grids of the Netherlands Antilles are included therein also.
