I assume that the whole stuff should be dumped and replaced with
geo_*_wgs_84() functions, right? And this is the end of my one-man
thread. :-)
For what it's worth, the geo*wgs_84() functions are *much* more
computationally intensive than the spherical functions.
For *many* purposes, the less accurate (but still pretty close) and more
efficient functions work just fine.
We do need the wgs_84() functions for precise scenery calculations and
precise navigation calculations.

Curt.
