I was looking for the towgs84 parameters for MonteMario and ED50 and
was surprised that they are not listed in /usr/local/proj/epsg.

On the web (related to mapserver,
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/proj.html), I found the following:
(excerpt, updated 2002-05-09):
---------------------------------------------------
ED50
<4230>
proj=longlat 
ellps=intl 
towgs84=-87,-98,-121,0,0,0,0 
no_defs 
<>
---------------------------------------------------
Monte Mario
<4265>
proj=longlat 
ellps=intl 
towgs84=-225,-65,9,0,0,0,0 
no_defs 
<>
---------------------------------------------------

but looking in the epsg file that comes with proj, the records of the
equivalent numbers have the same name but lack the towgs84 data.  

Does this mean that the epgs file that ships with proj4 is not
up-to-date?  

thanks
