In answer to Paul's question:
>> Position: 440 0'N, 1480 45' E
>I'm trying to make sense of Mike's position.  What kind of globe has 440
>degrees N, or 1480 degrees E?  Or does he mean
>44Degrees, 0Min, 0Sec N by 148Degrees 0Min 45Sec E?

The email program Samurai uses converts the degree symbol to a zero.  That
is why I substitute it with a 'D' when I do the 'Idlewild' postings to PUP
for position, course heading, and temperature.  The program also won't
reproduce a quotation mark properly, although it will do an apostrophe, or
single quotation mark '.
