[GRASSLIST:6737] PPOJ help required

I am a new user of GRASS GIS and I have some diffieculties with PROJ. I want to
project a file with lat/long coordinates to a stereographic projection (epsg
code is 31700). Can someone give me a hint how could I do this? i mean to tpe at
stdin
the coordinates in DMS foromat and to get them back from proj iin STEREO 70
projection

i think that it shoul be something like
proj +proj=stere +ellps=krass
+towgs84=-27.0,+135.0,+84.5,0.0,0.0,-0.554,-0.2263 x_0=500000 y_0=500000
lat_0=46 lon_0=25 lat_ts=46 k_0=0.99975 +units=m -r <<EOF

Thanks in advance

Ferencik,

If you are using the "proj" comand, you need a "+" in front
of each argument. Note that the towgs84 is ignored by the
proj command which implicitly converts between latlong and
projected coordinates on the same datum.

So, something a bit more like:

proj +proj=stere +lat_0=46 +lon_0=25 +k=0.999750 +x_0=500000
+y_0=500000 +ellps=krass +units=m +no_defs -r << EOF

Keep in mind that DMS format looks like this in PROJ:

20d15'7.5"

And with the -r flag you have requested input to be in lat, then long
format, rather than long then lat (as it typical in PROJ.4). Your email
didn't actually indicate whether things were working for you or not.
It is often helpful to explain what problem you have encountered as
well as your general objective.

Best regards,
