Landon Curt Noll db77e29a23 convert ASCII TABs to ASCII SPACEs
Converted all ASCII tabs to ASCII spaces using a 8 character
tab stop, for all files, except for all Makefiles (plus rpm.mk).
The `git diff -w` reports no changes.

NAME
d2dm - convert degrees into degrees, and minutes
SYNOPSIS
d2dm(degs, d, m [,rnd])
TYPES
degs real
d null-or-real-valued lvalue with assign-to permission
m null-or-real-valued lvalue with assign-to permission
rnd nonnegative integer, defaults to config("mod")
return mod(degs, 360, rnd)
DESCRIPTION
Convert degs degrees into d degrees, and m minutes.
The return value is a normalized number of degrees, and is equivalent
to the following:
return_value = mod(degs, 360, rnd);
The argument rnd, if not given, defaults to config("mod").
For more information on the effects of rnd, see "help mod".
Depending on the rounding mode, the return could be a real value
in the interval [0, 360) or a real value in the interval (-360, 0].
For the default round mode, the return value is in the interval [0, 360).
The d argument will be an integer number of degrees.
The value d will be set as if the following were used:
d = int(return_value);
For some rounding modes, d will be an integer in the interval [0, 360).
For other rounding modes, d will be an integer in the interval (-360, 0].
For the default round mode, d is in the interval [0, 360).
The m argument will be a real number of minutes.
The value m will be set as if the following were used:
tmp = return_value - d;
m = tmp * 60;
free(tmp);
For some rounding modes, m will be a real value in the interval [0, 60).
For other rounding modes, m will be a real value in the interval (-60, 0].
For the default round mode, m will be in the interval [0, 60).
The following shows relationship between the return value and the resulting
d, and m values:
return_value == d + m/60;
EXAMPLE
; ## if args are undefined, pre-declare them or assign them as args
; global d, m;
; print d2dm(12.3456,d,m), d, m;

; print d2dm(1234.5678,d,m), d, m;
154.5678 154 34.068
; print d2dm(-1234.5678,d,m), d, m;
205.4322 205 25.932
; print d2dm(654.321,deg=,min=), deg, min;

65.679 65 40.74
; print d2dm(360.321,deg=,min=), deg, min;
0.321 0 19.26
; ## certain non-default rounding modes can return negative values
