[Proj] Original Latex Files?

[Kristian Evers]

Postscript files for the PROJ.4.3.*.pdf files can be found here:

http://download.osgeo.org/proj/from_kai/

I've been trying to find the code that was used to create the plots in the files, but haven't had any luck yet. It should be possible to extract the plots from the ps-file though.

this seems to be a mirror copy of Gerald's last USGS distribution site charon.er.usgs.gov
http://ftp.funet.fi/pub/graphics/packages/MapProjections/

there are a couple of postscript files there that might be useful
PROJ.4.?.ps.Z Intermim documentation of release 4 proj.  Use as
		a supplement to OF 90-284 (listed above).  PostScript for
		300dpi, black-on-white printers.

proj.OF90-284.ps directory of PostScript files to create proj's OF doc-
		umentation on a 300bpi, black-on-white laser printer.
