[1mDESCRIPTION[0m
[1mbearing [22mreads a pair of .qth files specified on the command line, and
returns the azimuth bearing and great circle path distance between the
two points specified. A -metric switch is available so that distances
can be provided in kilometers rather than statute miles. SPLAT! pro-
vides similar distance and bearing information between two specific
site locations. The bearing utility, however, provides the information
quickly and easily over great distances without having to run SPLAT!
