/*
 *      gc.c
 *
 *      Great Circle.  This program is used to determine bearing
 *      and range to two stations given latitude and longitude.
 *
 *      Ver 1.07 By S. R. Sampson, N5OWK
 *      Public Domain (p) June 1993
 *
 *      Ref: "Air Navigation", Air Force Manual 51-40, 1 February 1987
 *      Ref: "ARRL Satellite Experimenters Handbook", August 1990
 *
 *      Usage examples:
 *
 *      gc n 35.19n97.27w 0s0e           (Moore to Prime/Equator)
 *      gc n 35.19N97.27W 38.51n77.02W   (Moore to Washington D.C., mixed case)
 *      gc n 33.56n118.24w 55.45n37.35e  (L.A. to Moscow)
 *	gc n 35N70W 35N71W		 (No decimal points used, all uppercase)
 *
 *	Modified the program to incorporate short and long path information
 *	from the Satellite Handbook.  This version also takes into consideration
 *	the two points being close enough to be in the near-field, and the
 *	antipodal points, which are easily calculated.  These last points were
 *	made in discussions with John Allison who makes the nice MAPIT program.
 *
 *	Compile GNU C with: cc -O gc.c -o gc -lm
