-===== Pre-processing data =====
-The following may be useful for Windows users.
-Below is a Windows Powershell script that will
-  * move any old DEMs and DEMs from a different zone (you can't mix zones in a virtual raster) to an //archive// sub-folder
-  * extract the raw files from the remaining zip files
-  * convert all of the .ASC files to GeoTIFF
-  * move the old zip files to a //current// sub-folder
-  * zip the //current// and //archive// sub-folders to //temp.zip//
-  * create a virtual raster (.vrt) file of all of the GeoTiffs
-You will need to replace the Environment variables (Path, GDAL_PATH, GDAL_DRIVER_PATH, PROJ_LIB) in the script with your own - see the lines starting with **$Env**.
-Usage is:
-<code>.\buildvrt.ps1 <zipFile> <targetFolder></code>
-eg <code>.\buildvrt.ps1 E:\geodata_raw\DATA_11279.zip E:\geodata\kiama</code>
-The .\ is required if you are running the script from your current directory.

-You can rename temp.vrt to anything you like, but it needs to stay relative to the GeoTIFF files.
-It is possible to then build a larger virtual raster from the individual 1:100k virtual rasters. Note that larger rasters need to have the same projection. Also keep in mind that not all data is at 2m resolution.

+===== Multiple projections =====
+If you are trying to process data near zone boundaries, you may run into issues where the tiles are of multiple projections. Virtual rasters run into numerous issues in this scenario. Even if you translate the data from one projection to the other, you will hit issues with pixel sizes, and pixel starting points.
+The best approach so far seems to be to
+  * clip each raster to a modest size
+  * reproject one file to the other CRS (projection)
+  * merge the two files, with
+    * the un-reprojected one first
+    * the <code>-tap</code> flag set
+    * and possibly the <code>-ps</code> flag as well
+You can then use this merged raster for operations around the zone boundaries.
