Hi, all,

I'm translating a dwg file to a tab for the area of Abra, Costa Rica.
I'm having problems matching up the projection information I've been
given (see below) with the parameters required by the prj file.

The info I've been given is:
Projection :  Conic Lambert   North  and  South
Lambert North
False Absisa  500.000 mts
False Ordenate  271.820,522 mts
1st  Paralel North  10 degree  28  minutes   north  latitude 
1 st  Meridian  84 degre  20 minutes  West  longitude
Datum:ocotepeque

I've matched (hopefully correctly!) this with:
"--- North American Coordinate Systems ---"
"Lambert Conformal Conic (North America)", 3, 62, 7, -96, 23, 20, 60, 0,
0

I can't seem to find a match for Ocotopeque datum for the second
parameter, plus I'm not sure what to put for the 2nd parallel parameter
since I seem to only have one. I assume the 'False Absisa' and False
Ordenate' are false northing and easting...

Any guidance would be great.

Thanks in advance!
