[Gvsig_english] Projection on the fly

[Marcel St-Germain]

Hi,

My mac is a intel silver imac 2ghz 10,5,2 and before I test with a ppc  
imac 800mhz with 10,3,9.  Before I was working in admin space now in a  
user space.

In my old test I had use, if I remember, about the same type of data.   
Some of these was my data in utm projections, others data are from  
québec or canada for base map.  This time, I just try my utm data with  
the canvec data for base map.  Just to said that in arcview9  
everything is at the right place and the coordinate show in the  
display are in the unit I specify not the unit of the zoom to layer.

I do not use for now gv_sig since it's lack symbology and others  
basics functions included in the v2 comming soon...  So I only try it  
time to time... in the mean time.

Waiting for the next  release...

Marcel
