Well, maybe I'm wrong about that.  I used the "cs2cs" utility from the
proj.4 system to convert the first line of your lat/lons to UTM in both

UTM:

  Interesting, Tom. Thanks for exploring as you did.

So my guess based on two data points is that if you assume the more
precise of your columns are the ones to take to the bank, and that the
less precise was a correct rounding-off of a computation, that the UTMs
are in NAD83. Of course, if the lat/lon columns are just *truncated*
rather than rounded, all bets are off.

  Works for me.

You'd have to do the same computation on more lines of the table to be
sure, though.

  These data do not need to be so precise that I'll worry about it. I'll go
back and recreate the table using the UTM values rather than lon/lat values,
feed them through the awk script to remove missing values and the sed script
to format them correctly, and try again to import them into grass.

Much appreciated,

Rich
