Hermann, thank you for the suggestion. I'm doing the same thing (creating
my own lookup file) which of course works fine for me, but doesn't help
anyone else. I believe that there are about 600 coordinate systems in the
Proj4 epsg file that say "HARN" but do actually reference the HARN grid
shift files, nor give the user any obvious clues that these grid files are
available and could, and should, be used.

Thanks,
Rich
