   These routines are available in the Script Manager 2.0 release, according
to the "Inside Macintosh Interim Chapter Draft - Script Manager 2.0". They
seem to be part of the script manager, but I do not at this time have 
the interface files for these routines.

   The routines are:

Procedure ReadLocation( Var Loc : Location );
Procedure WriteLocation( Loc : Location );

Type MachineLocation [sic] = Record
	Latitude, longitude : Fract;
	Case Integer of 
	0 : ( dlsDelta: signedByte );
	1 : ( gmtDelta: Longint );
	End;

gmtDelta is a three byte value, by the way, using only the low three bytes
of the LongInt.


I don't have any other information about this at this time. I didn't read the
entire chapter, so I have be misleading you. Contact Apple for more information.
