Can someone explain how g.setproj works. According to the man page, it
should prompt for the projection. In practice howver, it seems to read
the proj from DEFAULT_WIND. The problem I'm finding is that the only
valid proj: values are:
0:(xy)
1:(utm)
2:(state plane)
3:(ll)
and g.setproj doesn't like anything else. So how do I get nifty
projections like aea,lcc,merc,tmerc? Note this is the same list that
comes up for me when making a new location. Shouldn't that include all these
projections?Yes it should. This is a severe weakness in GRASS.

... which was largely rectified in GRASS4.1 using proj:value "99" ("other")
which allows a _large_ selection of projections. I use Lambert Conformal
Conic and Albers Equal Area regularly. I suggest you update too.
