DESCRIPTION

       Gcb  computes  long/short  path  distance  and  heading  given  the latitude and longitude
       (degrees and minutes).  You must input the lat/long of the two stations.  The output  will
       then be relative from station1 to station2.

       Input  the  two station lat/longs using the following format: ddd.mmHddd.mmG, lead/lagging
       zeros can be left out.

       d = Degrees, m = Minutes, H = Hemisphere (N or S), G = Greenwich (W or E)

       Units is 'n' for Nautical, 'k' for kilometers, and 's' for Statute.
