NAME
       gcb - calculate long and short path to a location


SYNOPSIS
       gcb units station1 station2


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.


EXAMPLES
       gcb n 35.19n97.27w 0s0e           (Moore to Prime/Equator)

       gcb n 35.19N97.27W 38.51n77.02W   (Moore to Washington D.C., mixed case)

       gcb n 33.56n118.24w 55.45n37.35e  (L.A. to Moscow)
