Hi list,

First of all, a big virtual hug to you all suffering through this crazy
time.  I wish you all the very best as we struggle through the months ahead.

And now the mundane...

We've been seeing a lot of .prj sidecar files from users from Arc
Desktop that isn't WKT [1].  I've found a reference to it at -
https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.3/manage-data/raster-and-images/esri-grid-format.htm
 - It seems to be referred to as an 'ASCII PRJ' file.  But there's not
much else on the web to go on.

Anyway, the ArcGridFormat reader doesn't understand it or seem to cope
with it, and I think it logs an error and reads the .asc without setting
the CRS.  But before I investigated a patch or a workaround , I was
wondering if there was some prior art I could use for decoding these
files, or some wisdom about how I could go about it.


Cheers,
Nick
