[FWTools] Writing to TAB files with OGR2OGR

[Donald.Hine at dpiw.tas.gov.au]

Hi all
Im having trouble getting OGR2OGR to convert  between shp and tab files 
using the correct projection. Im converting a number of shp files from one 
directory into a second directory as TAB files. The source native 
projection information is ignored (GDA94) and even specifying a target 
projection as EPSG:28355 , using a WKT file or explicitly writing the proj 
information doesnt seem to work,. It defaults to WGS84 southern hemisphere 
EPSG:32755.
The correct EPSG  information is present in the Proj directory. Im using 
FW tools 2.2.1
Ive tried not using any projection params, using -asrs and -tsrs both with 
epsg numbers, WKT and a WKT file with the same result

This is the basic cmd line, showing the last attempt at making the srs 
plain to see.


C:\Program Files\FWTools2.2.1>ogr2ogr -f "MapInfo File" -a_srs "+proj=utm 
+zone=55 +south +ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,
0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs" "D:\FWTOOLSTESTS\IrrigationAreasTAB" 
E:\Irrigation_Boundaries_Data


files are created in the correct directory everything between "MapInfo 
File" and E:\ is where im putting the SRS information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
Donald
