I sent the below message to the list but I am not sure if it was posted?

When using DMSCNVRT.MBX and you have decimal seconds ie
D.MMSSs (01 13 23.91).

Using the Long/Lats calculator and entering the above, the answer is
1.22330833 (same as my HP11c calculator).

Using the convert column to Decimal degrees the answer is
1.2233333333333

Does anyone know how to explain this??
