title	distance	find the distance between two points 
index			Find the Distance Between Two Points 

SYNOPSIS:
	
	double distance (x1, y1, x2, y2)
	 double x1;		/* X and Y coordinates 
	 double y1;		   of the first point  */
	 double x2;		/* X and Y coordinates
	 double y2;		   of the second point */

DESCRIPTION:

	This routine finds the distance between (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
	given the coordinates as parameters in their respective order.
