[Gvsig_english] Basic projection issues

[Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio]

Hello,
 
Do you know the EPSG code of your source shapefile?
 
Does it have a  .prj file by the .shp .dbf and .shx files? If so, what is the content of that .prj file?
 
 
Regards,
Juan Lucas Domínguez Rubio

Hello,

I'm a fairly novice GIS user trying to adapt from ArcGIS to gvSIG for
financial reasons.  While I seem to have managed the very basics of the
software, I cannot seem to properly alter the projection of my files.

At present, I am working with a single .shp file, borders for the countries
of the world.  The default for the file is a transverse mercator.  I am
attempting to convert it to a Gall-Peters, Mollweide, or really any
cylindrical or pseudocylindrical equal area projection for the time being.
So far all of my attempts either lead to the shapefile ceasing to display,
or being rotated about 15 degrees.  I have tried the help files and other
online documentation.  It would be appreciated if someone could lay out the
steps for reprojection simply.

Many thanks,
Dan
