Solution or Workaround
Conversion of 1995 BBSP files, using TIGERTOOL, creates coverages with a NAD27 datum when the PROJECT option is used, but the datum should be NAD83.
Cause:
In version 7.0.4, the PROJECT command used by TIGERTOOL defaults to NAD27. All TIGER files previous to 1995 used the NAD27 datum. The BBSP TIGER/Line files called TIGER/Line Files, 1995 are exactly the same as the TIGER/Line '94 files, but they are now in NAD83 and not NAD27 - except for Hawaii and the outlying territories.
Answer:
1. Click on the Related Information link.
2. Do a keyword search for TIGERTOOL.
3. Download the TIGERTOOL Update.
4. Place the new AML in the current workspace or in $ARCHOME/atool/arc. Root permission to replace the old one.
This updated AML will automatically determine the version of TIGER/line files and use the correct datum when doing a PROJECT of the coverage coordinates.
