    Try again, d walden!
    
    He wrote, about his spreadsheet-
    
    "Revised version is attached which should fix the

    sign to both the degrees and the minutes that are input.
    
    I am aware of these difficulties, having in my time fallen victim to them,
    and several others, in the ostensibly simple process of inputting and
    outputting degrees-and-minutes.
    
    George.
