Bruce Momjian 4c1383efd1 The attached patch defines functions for getting distances between
points on the surface of the earth and locating points within a
specified distance using an index based on the contrib/cube package. The
new functions are all of language type sql. A couple of bugs in the old
earthdistance function based on the point datatype are fixed. A
regression test has been added for both sets of functions. The README
file has been updated to include documentation on the new stuff. There
are comments about how this package is also useful for Astronomers.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains several language
bindings, including C, Perl, Python, and Tcl, as well as drivers
for JDBC.

As of v7.3, the ODBC and C++ interfaces have been moved over to the
PostgreSQL Projects WebSite @ http://gborg.postgresql.org.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/.  For more information look at our web
site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
