## Help text

     M_LLDIST Spherical earth distance between points in long/lat coordinates.
       RANGE=M_LLDIST(LONG,LAT) gives the distance in meters between
       successive points in the vectors LONG and LAT, computed
       using the Haversine formula on a spherical earth of radius
       6378.137km. Distances are probably good to better than 1% of the
       "true" distance on the ellipsoidal earth
