[Gvsig_english] Projecting EPSG 27700 British National Grid to overlay EPSG 4326 (WGS 1984)

[Mario Carrera]

Hi Liam,

reprojecting on the fly must work correctly. You can create a view in 
EPSG 4326 (geographic coords, WGS84), and load the raster file. Then you 
load the shp file selecting EPSG 27700 for its current system, and it 
will notice you that it will be reprojected on the fly. After loading 
the layer, if you go to the Layer->Export to->SHP menu, you will have 
the shp file in 4326. Do you say that it doesn't work?

About the raster reprojecting, if gvSIG crashes, there's a file whose 
name starts by "hs_err....." in the "bin" folder of your gvSIG 
installation folder. The date will be the same than the crash time. 
Could you attach it to check what could happen?

Best regards,
   Mario
