I want to convert some data from latlong/wgs84 to tmerc/bessel with 
datum shift from wgs84 to potsdam-datum here in germany.  How do i have 
to use the function? Are helmert-7-parameter as well as 
molodenski-3-parameter implemented? I tried the following:

--------
cs2cs -v +proj=latlong +to +proj=tmerc +ellps=bessel +lat_0=0 +lon_0=12 
+x_0=4500000 +towgs84=-586,-87,-409 <<EOF
10.69079E 51.86134N
EOF
--------

As result i get the following:

---------
# ---- From Coordinate System ----
#Lat/long (Geodetic)
# 

# +proj=latlong +ellps=WGS84
# ---- To Coordinate System ----
#Transverse Mercator
# 
Cyl, Sph&Ell
# +proj=tmerc +ellps=bessel +lat_0=0 +lon_0=12 +x_0=4500000
# +towgs84=-586,-87,-409
#--- following specified but NOT used
# +ellps=WGS84
4409820.23 
5748070.07 698.769

---------

The result is not good enough. I expect something like that:
4409920 5748280.

Whats wrong here? I got the "towgs"-parameters from a another 
helmert-calculation i found in the internet which work in another 
program i have here and show the results i expected.

Can you tell me where the mistake is?

Thanks in advance.
