Hi everybody

To Janne and Cliff:

The gdal tools and the proj.4 libs are the last version, yes. And I'm using them in the way the instructions say, I think. But is
obvious that I have a mistake. Maybe there is an error converting the MIF/MID files in a raster file, but the process is so
simple... I will review it, anyway.

Mmm... thanks for the clue! Then, I should do this for every province's files (52, exactly), but maybe the shift isn't the same 
in all... I'm going to see the rest

To Jose:

The "before" shift isn't the same as mine, but this is VERY interesting... What projection is "before" and what is "after", What 
are the input data? How did you do??

Thanks a lot!
