I just edit them out, so, e.g. Scale 1:4,000,000. 1 cm. = 40 km. ; Conic equal-interval proj. (E 190--W 1680/N 860--N 410) appears as Scale 1:4,000,000. 1 cm. = 40 km. ; Conic equal-interval proj. (E 19--W 168/N 86--N 41) --John +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | John R.
