       allows  a  user to create a new PROJ_INFO file in the specified 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 meridian 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.
