instead of


cs2cs [LCC +proj= terms]  +to  [longlat +proj= terms]

just reverse them:

cs2cs [longlat +proj= terms]  +to  [LCC +proj= terms]


IIUC you can't count on all projections to be fully reversible, but in
your case I think it'll be ok.

cs2cs expects input data in the form of "x y", i.e. "longitude latitude"
Use the -r flag if your data has reversed columns. be careful with
hemisphere signs and command line quoting for DDDdMM'SS.SSSS" style
input.

if you haven't already found the +nadgrids=nad83 term, you may want to
investigate that.
