    Hi Phil.

    You might also want to check out Hamlib at http://sf.net/projects/hamlib

    Last summer a substantial amoutn of re-work went to locator.c in the src
    directory which implements just the functions you're looking for.
    Hamlib is written in C and it's a reasonably simple matter to install
    the library and use those functions in your program. I won't guarantee
    the code to return extremely accurate results, but they seem reasonable.

    Right now the only way to get the latest changes is through CVS although
    a stable release is expected in the next few weeks.

    HTH,

    73, de Nate >>
