Irv, Peter Meyers, CC sirs; During composition of my paper: The Metric Second (1973 April), In my attempt to tie up 'Time Zones - between local & conventional' to & from Metric via Radian =57* 17' 44.88" i.e. 57*2958. Also, please see: http://www.brijvij.com/bbv_shelving-NMile.pdf as my attempt to SHELVE 'Nautical Mile' in favour of Nautical Kilometre! Regards, Brij Bhushan Vij (MJD 55293)/1726+D-108W15-03 (G.

I have now released this app as freeware, and you can obtain it by following the download link given on the web page at http://www.hermetic.ch/rad2deg/rad2deg.htm If you are going to the trouble of breaking out degrees to degrees, arcminutes and arcseconds, then I would suggest also adding arcthirds and arcfourths. In addition, the degrees as a decimal number would also be useful as both an input and output value. For historical purposes it is also useful to express the result relative to the zodiac and equinox of date, by dividing 360° into 12 "zodiac signs" of 30° each and computing the name and number of the sign as well as the radians, decimal degrees and separated degrees within that sign. If you want help with that I can send you a spreadsheet that does that and the above using Visual Basic macro user-defined functions. -- Irv Bromberg, Toronto, Canada <http://www.sym454.org/> _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail has tools for the New Busy.
