.SH SYNOPSIS
\*Lg.setproj\*O 
.SH DESCRIPTION
Allows a user to create a PROJ_INFO file in the PERMANENT mapset of the 
current location. PROJ_INFO file is used to record the projection information 
associated with the specified mapset. 
.SH NOTES 
User running g.setproj must own PERMANENT mapset.
It is highly recommended to run g.setproj after
creating a new location so that conversion programs (such
as v.proj\*O) can be run.
.PP
The current location must not contain a PROJ_INFO or 
PROJ_UNITS file. 
.PP
The user will be prompted for the projection name. 
.PP
The specification of any projection other than ll and stp will generate 
a request to the user for a name of a standard ellipse. 
.PP
The projections of aea, lcc, merc, leae (GRASS 5.x), leac (GRASS 5.x), and tmerc will generate a request to the user for the prime meridian and standard parallel for the output 
map. 
.PP
The projection of stp will generate a request to the user for the 
choice of zone for the output map. 
.PP
The user will be prompted for the spheroid and zone of the UTM 
projection.
