-Examples

      ;;
      ;; Set up input parameters
      ;;
      deg         = 65
      minutes     = 33
      seconds     = 0.001
      status      = MTK_DEG_MIN_SEC_TO_DD( deg, minutes, seconds, dd )
      
      ;;
      ;; Output...
      ;;
      print, 'degrees               : ', deg
      print, 'minutes               : ', minutes
      print, 'seconds               : ', seconds
      print, '================================================='
      print, 'DECIMAL DEGREES       : ',dd

   IDL outputs:
   
      degrees               :       65
      minutes               :       33
      seconds               :    0.00100000
