I'll have to also try that as I do know our air port code and our latitude and longitude at least the degrees part, not the minutes but that would probably get one quite close enough. Maybe a little tinkering with perl could make it just right. Before I retired, I worked in Network Operations at Oklahoma State University for 25 years and dabbled in C as in gcc before a coworker got me to learning perl. I now wish I had spent more time developing in perl since what one comes up with is faster to produce and tends to have less hidden bugs in it. The truth be known, A better C programmer also comes up with programs that have fewer hidden bugs so I am not blaming anybody but myself. Figuring out how to make the machines do what we want them to do is fun and sometimes, a little frustrating. Many thanks.
