hi kevin,
I'd like to have it both ways. I provide x,y,z and get lat,long+distance from
origin (and yes, the center of the globe is at the LDraw origin) and vice versa.
I need this to render backgrounds in bryce using the same camera position I set
in LPub. I'd like to have something like paul's LCad-Calculator - say
stand-alone, no java, runtimes and the like (I love "edger" but I regret the day
I installed that java-thing messing up my disk)
