Dear All,

I want to obtain (lat, lon) of  a serials of points saved in a data
file. Before do that, I need to know how can I do it for one point.

The pionts came from Mecartor projection. Now, I have a reference
point (reflat, reflon), and the distance (kilometers) (x,y)
corresponding to same (reflat,reflon). How to calculate the unkowns
(?lat.?lon)? Can proj do it?



 ---(Reflat,reflon)-----------------(x)---------
              |                                   |
              |                                   |
              |                                   |
              |                                   |
              |                                   |
--------- (y)-----------------  ?(lat,lon)---------


Many thanks for your help.
