If you're looking for western states: http://www.geocities.com/jeremiahobrien/trs2ll.html Looks like he added a couple of states since I downloaded the program. The version I have covers WA, OR, CA, NM, NV, AZ, UT, ID, MT, WY, CO, SD, NE and KS (1995) It now covers AR AZ CA CO ID KS MT ND NE NM NV OK OR SD UT WA WY (2002) I have used this both ways, taking cemetery locations given in T-R-S and converting to latitude and longitude to pinpoint them on a topo map and taking lat/long from the GNIS web site and converting to T-R-S to pinpoint them on a map in a county atlas or farm directory. Last I heard he wanted $500 to add a state of your choice. (That was in 1996 dollars) I just downloaded the 2002 version. It is still a DOS program, but will co-exist with WindowsXP. It is not extremely user friendly, but if you print out the documentation and look at the examples, it does work beautifully. The MT State U has created a web interface for the program: Lat/Long to TRS http://www.esg.montana.edu/gl/trs-data.html TRS to Lat/Long http://www.esg.montana.edu/gl/xy-data.html so even the DOS impaired can use it. --- Elsi <elsi@augustmail.com> wrote: > > Ah -- but what I really want is a program where I > can input a Township, > Range, and Section and get out longitude & latitude > so I can look up the > exact -- current -- location of the land.
