I'm attempting to convert latitude and longitude coordinates from 
degrees minutes and second to decimal form. I would like to go from:

N39 42 36.3 W77 42 51.5

to:
-77.739855,39.70

Does anyone know of a library or some existing out their to help with 
this conversion?



The conversion is simple enough. Why do you need a library?

BTW, are you sure the values are correct? I get '-77.714306,39.710083'.

Some time ago I saw file named LLUTM... for such conversions with more
than 20 ellipsoids.
Language of the file - C or Python, not sure. Try Google for LLUTM to
find more.
