Hi Darren,
Glad to see someone else groping with Nxxdxx'xx"W type bearings.  Was 
beginning to think I was the only one with the problem.

I wonder if you have to deal with magnetic or compass headings rather 
than true north. I have mostly magnetic headings as well as cases where 
there are adjacent parcels on a single deed map but the surveyor didn't 
bother to show the reverse heading on the 'other' side of the line.

I am working with a patch to Mauricio's dmsToDd function that will 
accept these surveyors relative headings as well as allowing for 
magnetic and reverse headings. Have it working on blank layers, but 
everything is either crashing or freezing when I try it with a real layer.
