Possibly the easiest way to get from Lat/Long to UK OS grid is to
get your GPS to do it. If you are using Gardown (presumably under DOSemu
unless you have the misfortune to be using a MS operating system) you
can upload the stuff as a tracklog or waypoints in Lat/Long format, and
download it back as OSGB. I imagine that other GPS software will have a
similar facility when talking to any GPS which knows about OS grid.

Now, anyone know how to get Irish grid references out of a GPS ?
