locator

I wanted to use a GPS software called GPSMan (by Miquel Filgueiras) to
take track of the locations of digipeaters that I used with packet
radio. Unfortunately, GPSMan cannot use the positions given in HAM
locator format. Thus, I wrote this little program to convert HAM
locators to longitudes and latitudes that can be entered in a GPS
program like GPSMan. Since I also found it useful to to the reverse
conversion, I also added the option to convert longitutes and
latitudes to HAM locators. 

The program is a command line program. Usage is very simple. Just call
lacator with one or two parameters. If one parameter is given, this
must be a HAM locator. If two parameters are given, these must be the
longitudes and latitudes of the coordinate. As a result, the program
returns the longitudes and latitudes or the HAM locator, respectively.

To install:
1. tar -xzvf locator.tar.gz
2. cd locator
3. make depend
4. make
5. as root user do:
   cp ./locator /usr/local/bin
