[MS4W-Users] Missing EPSG:3785 Spherical mercator in 3.0 Beta 7

[Lars Westerlind]

The epsg file says:
...
Unable to translate coordinate system EPSG:3783 into PROJ.4 format.
#
# Unknown
# Unable to translate coordinate system EPSG:3784 into PROJ.4 format.
#
# Unknown
# Unable to translate coordinate system EPSG:3785 into PROJ.4 format.
#
# Unknown
# Unable to translate coordinate system EPSG:3786 into PROJ.4 format.
#
# Unknown
# Unable to translate coordinate system EPSG:3787 into PROJ.4 format.
#
# Unknown
# Unable to translate coordinate system EPSG:3788 into PROJ.4 format.
#
# Unknown
...

But when entering 
<3785> +proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0
+y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m +nadgrids=@null
Manually it works as I see it.

To me it looks as some temporary error just when the release was produced. Can anyone check if it's the same problem with other releases? MapServer is of 5.4.2 in this case, ms4w of 3.0 Beta 7.

Or, please correct me if another code than epsg:3785 is adviced.

Hi,
Yet another newbie question.
I need to display the typical shorelines files, which apparently have
Spherical Mercator EPSG:3785 projection. And with an entry as
<3785> +proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0
+y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m +nadgrids=@null
In the epsg everything works well.

But,
The file does not contain this, nor EPSG codes 3763-9999 correctly. Is
there a reason, or just a mistake when producing that version (Beta 7)?
Or, should I use something different? 

Reason for asking is that I want to make my mapfiles compatible with
future releases of ms4w.

/Lars
