hi all,
i'm new to Free Pascal.
wanted to throw this out to the group, see what they thought.
i was trying to port an algo written in 'C' to pascal.
i had written this much of the included function, and for some reason,
out of some reflex, i mistakenly tried to compile it, Alt+F9.
The 'fp.exe' IDE on Windows crapped out, with the IDE "flashing" and
information about how i needed to save my files as the IDE was going
to shutdown.
RADIUS_EARTH_KILOMETERS is a 'const : Double'.
is this something i should report to someone, and if so, who/where ?
-- SNIP --
{ lat lon need to be in radians }
function XSACalcFlatEarthCoord(lat,lon : Double) : TPoint2D;
Var lat0,lon0 : Double;
Var R1, R2 : Double;
Var e : Double = .001;
begin
lat0 := 0.0;
lon0 := 0.0;
R1=RADIUS_EARTH_KILOMETERS(e)/(e*(sin(lat0))^2)^(3/2);
end;
