this is why i've taken to using the standard form of

  W73d43m33s N35d21m19s
  -73d43m33s  35d21m19s

and similar where the 'd' indicates "degrees". 'm' is "minutes" (including
decimal minutes) and 's' is "seconds"... it just makes sense when one can't
figure out how to create those charcters... we won't even bring up the well
known character set and code page conversion mess...
