Hello Mike,
may be you don't need to reverse any Pascal code :)
I hope, every Linux user had been installed Hamlib - and Hamlib
contains many good functions, eg. it can calculate the distance
(and bearing) between two locator.
Here is a sample code:
==%==
#include <stdio.h>
#include <hamlib/rotator.h>
int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
double s1long, s1lat, s2long, s2lat;
char s1qra[] = "EM37cg";
char s2qra[] = "jn97om";
double dist = 1000, az = 90;
locator2longlat(&s1long, &s1lat, s1qra);
locator2longlat(&s2long, &s2lat, s2qra);
printf("W0BTU coords: lat: %f lon: %f\n", s1lat, s1long);
printf("HA2OS coords: lat: %f lon: %f\n", s2lat, s2long);
qrb(s1long, s1lat, s2long, s2lat, &dist, &az);
printf("distance between W0BTU and HA2OS: %f km, dir: %f\n", dist, az);
return 0;
}
==%==
You can compile that code with this command:
gcc -Wall qrasrc.c -lhamlib
and run:
$ ./a.out
W0BTU coords: lat: 37.270833 lon: -93.791667
HA2OS coords: lat: 47.520833 lon: 19.208333
distance between W0BTU and HA2OS: 8485.799136 km, dir: 40.000000
These values are the short path info's.
Please note, this is just an after-a-fast-explore snippet, there
isn't any error handling.
73,
Ervin
HA2OS
