[Qgis-user] Projection not recognised EPSG:31259

[Senthilkumar Selvaraju]

hi Werner,
                   i also got same problem that the projection
information is not correctly taken by QGIS.  i checked the .prj file.
i think some format different is there between QGIS software and other
GIS softwares.
