Ken,

We recently acquired the very same map and I assisted one of my Team
members with the whole complicated parallel title situation to this thing.
Did not notice the coordinate problem! Anyway, your solution sounds exactly
like how I would have handled this, determine the accurate coordinates and
put them in the two separate 034 and 255 fields, then construct a note
indicating the incorrect nature of the coordinates given on the map itself.
Other suggestions????

Paige
