-----------------------------------
The tinyloc.c program calculates the qth locator from geographical coordinates and vice versa using only 16-bit signed integer data types, developing in C the ideas of the TINYLOC software written in Tiny Basic.

Link to the source code: tinyloc.c

You can easily compile the source code for your platform with a C compiler.
The source code is written in plain C, no extra libraries or header files are required (except for <stdio.h>).
Popular free compilers you can use are MinGW for Windows platforms and gcc for Linux and Mac OS X.

To compile the source code on linux systems with gcc move tinyloc.c to your home or work directory, open a terminal, cd to your home or work directory and type
gcc ./tinyloc.c -o ./tinyloc
at the prompt.
Type ./tinyloc to run the program (don't forget the "./" if your home or work directory isn't in your path).
