--------------------------------
API to the proj verion 4.4.7
--------------------------------

1. Installation 
--------------------------------

To compile this stuff you will need a 
free BCC 5.5 compiler. You can download 
this compiler from http://www.borland.com.

To create the library change to the directory 
lib and modifiy the directory parameters for
the delphi and the bcc55 installation in this
entries.

BCCROOT=c:\bin\bcc55



The bcc55 delivers the too make. It should be 
in your executables searchpath. So if you have thes tools 
change to the directory 

$(INSTALL)\lib.proj-4.4.6.r\src and call 

>makeall 

at commandline the resulting files are in the directory 

$(INSTALL)lib.proj-4.4.6.r\src\bin


2. Demo
-------

The distrubution comes with delphi and CBC demos.
The files are in the directories:

$(INSTALL)\Delphi
$(INSTALL)\CBuilder

The Delphi directory containes also a precompiled 
proj447.dll the API unit and a simple transformation 
wrapper uDSCoordinates.pas.

The basic usage of proj is shown in demo1.
The usage of proj  with the wrapper is shown in demo2.

The CBuilder has only one demo with also with a wrapper
and the distribution contains a proj447.lib.

3. Copyleft
-----------

The library proj446 is released 
PROJ.4 has been placed under an MIT license. I believe this to be as close as possible to public domain while satisfying those who say that a copyright notice is required in some countries. The COPYING file read as follows:

All source, data files and other contents of the PROJ.4 package are available under the following terms. Note that the PROJ 4.3 and earlier was "public domain" as is common with US government work, but apparently this is not a well defined legal term in many countries. I am placing everything under the following MIT style license because I believe it is effectively the same as public domain, allowing anyone to use the code as they wish, including making proprietary derivatives.

Though I have put my own name as copyright holder, I don't mean to imply I did the work. Essentially all work was done by Gerald Evenden.
