<DIV><FONT size=2>Dear sir</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I would be grateful for your assistance. I obtained your
E Mail address from Paul Stewart's web page.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am working on earthquakes which are recorded on UT time tied
in with Zone Time. My problem is that I need to get the "real time" of
these events, the time that it takes from Greenwich to reach the longitude by
the Earths rotation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I need to tie up time and longitude, the earthquakes are
reported in position of longitude / latitude, but not as accurately as
time. I also need the real time span between quakes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>My ideal solution to this problem would be software that would
take in a spreadsheet produced file ( I have thousands of quakes ) and analysing
date, time and latitude / longitude produce exact "real time" / Earth rotation
time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I write my own spreadsheet macro's (Aseasy As)and could
construct one if I knew all the time / zone boundary parameters. >From what
I have surmised of the crazy Zone and different clock contortions this would be
a big job. I do not write macro's for Excel or Lotus 123 but could
work existing macro sheets if they were available.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I hope you can help me as I cannot move forward till I have
solved this problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Yours sincerely</FONT></DIV>
