This package includes the optional US and Canadian datum shift grids (proj-nad27-1.1.tar.gz). The PROJ.4 web site has more information, including on-line manuals and a FAQ.

Note that header files are installed in /usr/freeware/include/proj, rather than directly into /usr/freeware/include. Developers intending to use this distribution for application development should be sure to read the information in FAQ 3.8.
