Rafael,

I'm not sure where you got your cs2cs.exe binary, but hopefully that also
came with the "epsg" file somewhere in the tree.  If you set the PROJ_LIB
environment variable to point to the directory containing the epsg init
file then things will hopefully work.

eg.

set PROJ_LIB=C:\PROJ\NAD
cs2cs.exe ...

If you need to you can grab a recent epsg init file from:

   http://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/proj/trunk/proj/nad/epsg

Best regards,
