I did a write similar to this many years ago (1980-1) using a TI-994A in 
Basic to triangulate signal reports using grid squares on a Thomas Bros map 
book. It always referred me to the right page, but was usually a couple of 
squares off and never consistantly so.  Thomas Bros wasn't forthcoming with 
any information I needed (scale) in perfecting the program, so I gave it up..
Since San Diego is surrounded by mountains, it would have been a piece of 
cake to implement direction finding equipment on three of those mountains and 
link the sites to the computer base.

Are you going to UUEncode that software with it?
