Good afternoon Mappers
I have a small table of towns that I wish to convert to a shape file. In
MI, I can confirm the datum as Lat-Lon Australia GDA94 from
Table/Maintenance/Table Structure/Projection.  If I then use the
Universal Translator to convert to a shape file, the accompanying .prj
file shows that the Datum/projection is
"unnamed",DATUM["D_North_American_1983",SPHEROID["Geodetic Reference
System of 1980" ... rather than Lat-Lon GDA94.  I have downloaded the
updated Mapinfow.prj file from the MI website intended to correct the
previous default to NAD83, but the problem persists.  I suspect that the
Universal Translator has no match for Lat Lon GDA94.  Any ideas?

Cheers
Mal
