       allows a user to create a new PROJ_INFO file in the speci-
       fied mapset.  The file is used to  record  the  projection
       information associated with the specified mapset.


       Note:

	The   PROJ_UNITS file.
	      The  specification  of any projection other than ll
	      and xxx will generate a request to the user  for	a
	      name of a standard ellipse.
	      The  projections	of aea, lcc, merc, and tmerc will
	      generate a request to the user for the prime merid-
	      ian and standard parallel for the output map.
	      The  projection  of  stp will generate a request to
	      the user for the state abbreviation and  choice  of
	      zone for the output map.
	      The  projection  of  xxx	will  request mapgen _p_r_o_j
	      parameters.  See the mapgen _p_r_o_j documentation  for
	      the uses of this software.
