I learned starting with this:  http://www.hpcalc.org/details.php?id=1771

From there, it was just experience.  As to that program, I copied it
from comp.sys.hp48 which is the real resource for HP calculator
related stuff (not collector models).

I searched for "DMS display" so I wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel,
and copied a routine I found there.  In my surveying software, the DMS
display is handled by a rather quick assembly routine, but that is
quite beyond this scope.
