Hi Mike, et. al. Hamlib can be used from a Python, Perl, or TCL script and call the functions used for calculating azimuth and distance using several different location formats. Ervin mentioned below about some changes he submitted to the non-C language bindings. Those changes are only available in the development branch of Hamlib at this time (we're working to get the next version "out the door").
An example of how Python can be used for these functions can be found in the latter part of the following script: https://github.com/N0NB/hamlib/blob/master/bindings/pytest.py A daily snapshot of the development branch is available at: http://n0nb.users.sourceforge.net Compiling is not too difficult although certain dependencies exist, particularly for compiling the language bindings. Most of all the information is detailed in the INSTALL and README.betatester files in the source archive. Admittedly, getting started learning the Hamlib functions is not as easy as it should be due to a lack of good documentation. I started on a manual earlier this year and really need to get back to working on it. 73, de Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
