Regarding the difference between clark 66 and clark 88; there will definatly
be a differance between the two projections! The difference will be on the
order of a few hundred feet on both the x and y axis. I have also had problems
with some programs not having the correct projection. This is especially true
with the SCS MAPGEN interface.

Two questions:

1) If there is a Clarke 1888 ellipsoid, what are its parameters?

2) What do you mean by "not having the correct projection" above?

Thanks.
