v.proj

Hello GRASS Users,

Thanks again to J. Evenden and C. Weiss for their help with my SPCS questions.

I have succeeded in setting up a location/mapset in the NYSPCS, and now
I want to bring in a vector map, done in the UTM system in another location/
mapset, to this new one using v.proj. I answered all the prompts from
v.proj, i.e. name, database, location,...etc. pertaining to the map I want to
bring in, but I get an error message:

  major axis, radius = 0, or not spec'ed
  cannot initialize pj

The PROJ_INFO and PROJ_UNITS files in my new location were created by GRASS when
I set it up. Those in the location where I want to grab the UTM map seem okay,
they list the ellipsoid, etc. I'm not clear what is missing or where it should be.
I have not been able to locate much documentation on what the PROJ_INFO files should
look like.

All help is greatly appreciated.

Gary
