Dear Henk You will find distpp.mbx freeware at : http://std.cpc.ku.ac.th/delta/deltacp/free/free1.htm which can do the job for one point. Some time ago someone requested the code to add the option to process a set of points (with cthe coordinates of the result written in the table) but did not return, as promised, the modified version... it's still a one point process.
