+
+This is Release 4.3 of cartographic projection software.
+
+PLEASE read the following information as well as READMEs in the src
+and nad directories.
+
+PLEASE send information on any problems encountered or general inquiries to
+
+	gie@kai.er.usgs.gov
+
+or call Gerald I. Evenden at (508)563-6766 or write to same at:
+
+	P.O. Box 1027
+	N. Falmouth, MA 02556-1027
+	USA

+   ---------------------------------------------------
+
+Installation:
+-------------
+
+FSF's configuration procedure is used to ease installation of the
+PROJ.4 system.
+
+The default destination path prefix for installed files is /usr/local.
+Results from the installation script will be placed into subdirectories
+bin, include, lib, man/man1 and man/man3.  If this default path prefix
+is proper, then execute:
+
+	./configure
+
+If another path prefix is required, then execute:
+
+	./configure --prefix=/my/path
+
+In either case, the directory of the prefix path must exist and be
+writable by the installer.
+
+After executing configure, execute:
+
+	sh install
+
+The install script will create, if necessary, all required sub-
+directories.
+
+   ---------------------------------------------------
+
+Distribution files and format.
+------------------------------
+
+Sources are distributed in one or more files.  The principle elements
+of the system are in a compress tar file named `PROJ.4.x.tar.gz' where
+"x" will indicate level.sub-level of the release.  For U.S. users
+interested in NADCON datum shifting procedures, additional files
+containing conversion matricies are distributed with the name
+`PROJ.4.x.y.tar' where y is an uppercase letter starting with "A."
+These supplementary files will contain compressed files and thus
+the tar file is not compressed.
+
+Interim reports on Rel. 4 proj are available in PostScript form as
+*.ps.gz .  New and old users are strongly recommended to carefully read
+these manuals.  They are supplements and NOT a replacement for the full
+manual OF 90-284 (which new users should also obtain).
+
+   ---------------------------------------------------
+
+Principle new aspects of system:
+--------------------------------
+
+ANSI X3.159-1989 C code.  Site must have ANSI C compiler and header files.
+
+Several method of determining radius from specified ellipsoid.
+
+Use of initialization files through +init=file:key.  Default projection
+specifications also may be defined in an ASCII file.
+
++inv option REMOVED and -I may be used in its place.  Use of invproj
+alias of proj still functions as per Rel.3.
+
++ellps=list and +proj=list REMOVED.  Use respective -le and -lp.
+
++units= to specify cartesian coordinate system units.  To get list
+use -lu.
+
+-v added to dump final cartographic parameters employed.
+
+Addition of computing scale factors and angular distortion added through
+-S option.  Valuable for designing new projection parameter details.
+
+-V option which verbosely lists projected point characteristics.
+
+Programmers may use projection library with calls to pj_init and
+pj_fwd and/or pj_inv.
+
+Program nad2nad for conversion of data to and from NAD27 and NAD83
+datums.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Things currently left undone:
+----------------------------
+
+proj_def.dat NOT fully in place.  Needs additional settings for
+many of the projections.  Probably will not be completed until main
+manual rewritten.
