[Proj] Using EPSG codes with cs2cs

[Jose Gonçalves]

Hi

Are you sure of EPSG code 31495? In my epsg file, installed with proj, I
can find only:

epsg: 31461    # DHDN / 3-degree Gauss zone 1 (deprecated)
epsg: 31462    # DHDN / 3-degree Gauss zone 2 (deprecated)
epsg: 31463    # DHDN / 3-degree Gauss zone 3 (deprecated)
epsg: 31464    # DHDN / 3-degree Gauss zone 4 (deprecated)
epsg: 31465    # DHDN / 3-degree Gauss zone 5 (deprecated)
epsg: 5520      # DHDN / 3-degree Gauss-Kruger zone 1
epsg: 31466    # DHDN / 3-degree Gauss-Kruger zone 2
epsg: 31467    # DHDN / 3-degree Gauss-Kruger zone 3
epsg: 31468    # DHDN / 3-degree Gauss-Kruger zone 4
epsg: 31469    # DHDN / 3-degree Gauss-Kruger zone 5

If a projection ID is not in the file the expected answer is the one you
got. It is not a configuration problem.
Check http://spatialreference.org to check the epsg code
