<h2>Documentation</h2>
<ul>
<li> <a href="ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/proj/OF90-284.pdf">
OF90-284.pdf (2.7MB)</a>: The main users manual for PROJ; however, this dates
from PROJ.3 - the addendums
<a href="ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/proj/PROJ.4.3.pdf">PROJ.4.3.pdf (1MB)</a>,
<a href="ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/proj/PROJ.4.3.I2.pdf">PROJ.4.3.I2.pdf (2MB)</a>,
and
<a href="ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/proj/SWISS.pdf">SWISS.pdf (78KB)</a>
contain important additional information.<p>
<li> Short of having a new manual set, here is a newly formatted set of documentation:
<ul>
<li><a href="ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/proj/new_docs/OF90-284.pdf">OF90-284.pdf (5MB)</a>
<li><a href="ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/proj/new_docs/proj.4.3.pdf">proj.4.3.pdf (2.4MB)</a>
<li><a href="ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/proj/new_docs/proj.4.3.I2.pdf">proj.4.3.I2.pdf (2MB)</a>
<li><a href="ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/proj/new_docs/swiss.pdf">swiss.pdf (74KB)</a>
</ul>
The content is the same as the original set, above, except that these versions have been reformatted to be more legible
and references within the files are clickable, so it is easier to find your way around. Sadly, they are somewhat
larger than the originals. This seems to be due to the way the graphics were converted.<p>
<li> <a href="http://members.verizon.net/~vze2hc4d/proj4/">Gerald
Evenden's PROJ.4 site</a>: includes some updates and documentation for his
slimmed down <b>libproj</b>.<p>
<li> <a href="man_proj.html">proj</a>,

<a href="man_geod.html">geod</a>, and

<li> <a href="faq.html">PROJ.4 FAQ</a>.<p>
<li> <a href="gen_parms.html">General Parameter Notes</a>.<p>
<li> The <a href="http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/proj_list/">Projections
List</a> page on the GeoTIFF site includes information on how to describe
many common projections with PROJ.4 command arguments.<p>
</ul>

<h2>Mailing List and Bugs</h2>
<p>
A mailing list is available for users and developers of PROJ.4 as well as for
discussion of general cartographic projections related issues. Subscription,
unsubscription and a web archive can be found at
<a href="http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/proj">
http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/proj</a>.
The PROJ.4 mailing list is also available by NNTP at
<a href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.proj-4.devel">news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.proj-4.devel</a> and via HTML at
<a href="http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.proj-4.devel">http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.proj-4.devel</a>.<p>
Bugs <a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=PROJ.4">
can be entered</a> and
<a href="http://bugzilla.remotesensing.org/buglist.cgi?product=PROJ.4">can
be viewed</a> in BugZilla.<p>
<!---------------------------------------------------------------------------->
<h2>Plans</h2>
PROJ.4 is in active use by
<a href="http://grass.itc.it">GRASS GIS</a>,
<a href="http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/">MapServer</a>,
<a href="http://postgis.refractions.net/">PostGIS</a>,
<a href="http://thuban.intevation.org/">Thuban</a>,
<a href="http://ogdi.sourceforge.net/">OGDI</a> and
<a href="http://www.gdal.org/ogr/osr_tutorial.html">
OGRCoordinateTransformation</a> as well as various other projects (please
let me know about other projects using PROJ.4!).<p>
Since work started on the PROJ.4.4.x series of releases, various bux fixes
have been incorporated, and the build system has been overhauled to use
autoconf/libtool. Support has also been added for 3 and 7 parameter datum
shifts, the <b>PJ*</b> structure now also carries datum information and
<b>PJ*</b> can be considered a full coordinate system (geographic coordinate
systems are also now supported with the <b>+proj=latlong</b>
pseudo-projection). The new <b>cs2cs</b> program performs a similar function
to the <b>proj</b> program, but transforming from any one coordinate system
to another. The new <b>pj_transform()</b> is used to access the extended
coordinate system to coordinate system transformation with datum shifting.
A mapping file (<b>epsg</b>) has also been introduced mapping most EPSG
(<a href="http://www.epsg.org">www.epsg.org</a>) coordinate systems to
PROJ.4 format.<p>
Future plans for PROJ.4 will hopefully include better online documentation,
refinement of datum shifting support and extension of the external
programming API for greater convenience in handling coordinate systems from
applications.<p>
If you are a user of PROJ.4, and/or are interested in contributing please
drop me a line and join the mailing list. <p>

<h2>License</h2>
PROJ.4 has been placed under an MIT license. I believe this to
be as close as possible to public domain while satisfying those who say that
a copyright notice is required in some countries. The COPYING file read as
follows:<p>
All source, data files and other contents of the PROJ.4 package are
available under the following terms. Note that the PROJ 4.3 and earlier
was "public domain" as is common with US government work, but apparently
this is not a well defined legal term in many countries. I am placing
everything under the following MIT style license because I believe it is
effectively the same as public domain, allowing anyone to use the code as
they wish, including making proprietary derivatives. <p>
Though I have put my own name as copyright holder, I don't mean to imply
I did the work. Essentially all work was done by Gerald Evenden. <p>
