Hello all,

Does anyone know the proper format to use to include the BC Albers in
MapInfo projection file? I am importing and E00 and the projection is not
available as a choice.

The projection is Albers Equal Area Conic, with parameters of : 

Central meridian: -126.0 (126:00:00 West longitude) 
Latitude of projection origin: 45.0 (45:00:00 North latitude) 
First standard parallel: 50.0 (50:00:00 North latitude) 
Second standard parallel: 58.5 (58:30:00 North latitude) 
False easting: 1000000.0 (one million metres) 
False northing: 0.0 
The datum is NAD83, based on the GRS80 ellipsoid. 

or

Projection    ALBERS
Datum         NAD83
Units         METERS
Xshift        0.0000000000
Yshift        0.0000000000

Parameters
 50  0  0.000 /* 1st standard parallel
 58 30  0.000 /* 2nd standard parallel
 -126  0  0.000 /* central meridian
 45  0  0.000 /* latitude of projection's origin
1000000.00000 /* false easting (meters)
0.00000 /* false northing (meters)
end

In MapInfo.prj file there is.....

"--- North American Coordinate Systems ---"
"Albers Equal-Area Conic (North America)", 9, 62, 7, -96, 23, 20, 60, 0, 0

How do I add this projection to MapInfo?? Thanks in advance.

Steve
