[Proj] Creating a nadgrid shift file

[molnar at sas.elte.hu]

Dear Jan,
After your post, I tried to do it in the opposit way.
I used "gdal_translate" to convert my .gsb file to geotiff. (The .gsb
works perfectly with "cs2cs".)
I checked the geotiff and its location is perfect (so no obvious problem
with the negative longitude values), but the cell values are like
3.40e+38, so I expect a byte order problem.

If really this byte order problem couses the errors, maybe you can avoid it:
-- converting your .tif file first to raw binary with a "GDAL virtual
format" metadata file
-- edit the "ByteOrder" parameter from MSB to LSB or vica versa in the
.vrt metadata file
-- convert the raw binary back to geotiff
-- gdal_translate it to ntv2-format
Good luck!
Gabor
