Sharing the thoughtful skepticism of Claus, i would say: If the points 
are lying on a sphere and you are looking for the shortest direct arc 
linking them along the sphere, the Wikipedia page about spherical 
trigonometry might help you: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_trigonometry
Then, the usual cos(), and sin() Scilab functions will allow you 
implementing the relevant spherical formula.
