Corpscon Version 5.11.08
Corpscon, Version 5.11.08, is a MS-Windows-based program which allows
the user to convert coordinates between Geographic, State Plane and Universal
Transverse Mercator (UTM) systems on the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD
27), the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) and High Accuracy Reference
Networks (HARNs). Corpscon uses the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) program
Nadcon to convert between NAD 27, NAD 83 and HARNs. Corpscon, Version 5.x,
performs vertical conversions to and from the National Geodetic Vertical
Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD
88). Vertical conversions are based on the NGS program Vertcon and can
be performed for the continental U.S. only. Corpscon, Version 5.x, will
also calculate geoid-ellipsoid separations based on the NGS program Geoid96.
Geoid-ellipsoid separations can be calculated for the Continental U.S.,
Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico/U.S. Virgin Islands.

Updates
Updated Corpswin.exe File - This file should
be downloaded only if you have a downloaded v5xstd.exe or v5xmin prior
to February 13th, 1998. If those files were downloaded after
that day then they already include the corrected corpswin.exe file.
The existing corpswin.exe file should be replace with the corrected corpswin.exe
file above. You cannot run run Corpscon with this file alone.
You must have already downloaded an entire distribution, either v5xmin.exe
or v5xstd.exe.
Questions ??? Please read Frequently Asked Questions
Fixes:
3/28/00 - New hpgn files were added for Illinois and New Jersey.
1/27/00 - New hpgn files were added for Indiana.
10/25/99 - New hpgn files were added for Nevada and New York.
8/30/99 - Fixed the error when using printer output file.
7/19/99 - Fixed the output to printer error for geographic decimal degrees.
5/10/99 - New hpgn files were added for North and South Dakota.
4/15/99 - New hpgn files were added for Hawaii.
1/4/99 - New hpgn files were added for Kansas, Ohio and West Virginia. Maine and New England hpgn files were updated.
11/3/98 - Arizona East State Plane, Zone 201, had a bad constant.
The constant only affected conversion involving this zone.
9/1/98 - Corrected problem when HPGN was selected as the Horizontal Input Format and Output Format and a conversion between NAVD88 and NGVD29 was desired.
8/3/98 - New York Central State Plane, Zone 3012 was correctly renamed to Zone 3102.
2/12/98 - Kansas South State Plane, Zone 1502, NAD 83 had a bad constant.
The constant only affected conversion involving this zone.
1/14/98 - Printer output would display input longitude in the output
longitude column. This happened on printer output only. Output
files and output window display were fine.
12/10/97 - California State Plane Zone 3, NAD83 had a bad constant.
The constant only affected conversions involving this zone.
12/9/97 - Corrected problem in header of printer output. When
GRS80 was specified as the vertical datum, the header of the printer output
would display NGVD29. The conversion and number output was correct,
but the label in was wrong.

Corpscon Distributions
There are two distributions of Corpscon which may be downloaded; a standard
or a minimum distribution.
Standard Distribution
The standard distribution includes:
-
All Corpscon program files
-
All Nadcon data files for the Continental U.S., Hawaii and Puerto Rico/U.S.
Virgin Islands
-
All Vertcon data files for the Continental U.S.
-
All Geoid96 data files for the Continental U.S., Hawaii and Puerto Rico/U.S.
Virgin Islands
Minimum Distribution
The minimum distribution includes:
-
All Corpscon program files
-
All Nadcon data files for the Continental U.S., Hawaii and Puerto Rico/U.S.
Virgin Islands
The minimum distribution does NOT include data files required for vertical
conversions (Vertcon/Geoid96). These files must be downloaded separately.
Vertcon and Geoid96 data files may be downloaded individually for various
areas of the country.
Alaska data files need to be downloaded separately. See the following
sections for details.
Downloading and Installing
Corpscon
-
Download either the Standard Distribution (v5xstd.exe)
or the Minimum Distribution (v5xmin.exe) to your local hard drive.
-
Unzip the downloaded file, then Run the executable file and follow the instructions on the screen to install the program.
-
If the Standard Distribution was downloaded the installation will be complete, once the downloaded file is unzipped then run..
If the Minimum Distribution was downloaded and there is a need for vertical
conversions, vertical data files will need to be downloaded. Refer
to the following sections for instructions on how to download vertical
files. There also is a Minimum Installation
Example and chart detailing which files should
be downloaded for a given state.
