projection parameters for UTM 17 N, NAD 1927

Hello,

please excuse the stupid question...

In the Projection dialog, which are the parameters to enter if my source shapefile is in UTM Zone 17 North, NAD 1927 datum?

UTM parameters

not stupid at all, very tricky stuff. DIVA used to have an easy interface to create these; and it will have that again soon. I think you need this:

+proj=tmerc +lat_0=0 +lon_0=-81 +k=0.9996 +x_0=500000 +y_0=0 +datum=NAD27

I am having similar troubles- can't figure out the formula...I want to change my data from WGS1984 to UTM zone 33N.
also, I keep getting a message that my output file name is wrong, I tried entering a new one as well as just putting it in a different file, but can't seem to get it right.

any help is very much appreciated- thank you!!!!!!

UTM 16 N, NAD 1927 to WGS84

I want to transform my UTM shapefiles (16N, NAD1927) to WGS84 shape files. The question above refers to almost the same problem, but I'm not able to adapt the formula to my zone, because I don't understand the formula... Thank you for an answer.
