[Scilab-users] How to specify angle in degree and minutes

[Dmitry Samersoff]

Hello Christophe,

Thank you for your support.

tokens + arithmetic conversion did what I was needed.

It would be nice to have the support for such notation in a future and 
avoid extra steps - this kind of data is rather common for many areas of 
knowledge.
