Why the tilde character in front? "~".  It was not until I saw this this
morning and then was thinking to myself that I wonder if -317 is the same
as +43 degrees... then I looked closer and realized it was a tilde and not
a minus sign.  I guess I have had it wrong all along...

Having eyes over 40 is a curse...

And I think now that INSTANTRACK version 1.52 takes those numbers directly
now as written and gives the correct answer.  No reply needed if
afirmative. (as long as you dont missread the ~ as a - as I have been
doing)...
