TRAVELER

     This program will take two or more sets of coordinates
within one or two concentric spheres and calculate the distances
between them.  For more than two locations, it proceeds to
analyze the shortest possible route.  It incorporates an option
to show a map of the USA with your route.  The curious can tinker
with distances in the Universe, Physics, or Math.  There are
extensive changes to unleash the power and ease of the ATARI ST.

     The program is fairly simple.  Beyond the .PRG there are
four .PI? files, a .MAP file, this .TXT file, and two each of a
.TBL (TABLE) and .LST (LIST) files.

	TABLEs are databases used to determine the shortest route
and to display a "TABLE".  The TABLE can be setup for either 'as
birds fly' or as you hope the car goes (if you type in the
data!!!), and can be modified (or Updated) from within the
program.  When a TABLE is loaded or saved, a LIST is loaded or
saved concurrently.
	LISTs are text files containing up to 10 characters of a
city's name, Latitude deg, Latitude sec, Longitude deg and
Longitude sec.  You may load one or more LISTs.  The program
holds 100 cities.  (A LIST could be generated for each individual
State or area and then loaded as required!) LISTs may also be
modified (or Updated) from within the program.  Once a LIST is
constructed, a TABLE must be RECALCulated.  If you wish to Save
either the TABLE or LIST, simply consult the apropriate MENU.

     This is my third major project with GFA Basic.  Like
MONOPOLY, there may be some problems.  If no one takes the time
to report them, there is no major push to correct them.  Just
because it is in the PUBLIC DOMAIN does not mean it is useless or
cannot be better.  I could seek pity for the time spent on
programming.  However, for little more than a stamp, something
good can be better and you can be part of the process!

     Questions, comments, or criticisms of meaningful content
will be responded to with pleasure.
