Stop! You have to use decimal degrees as the input to the RECT programs.
There are lots of websites that have tools to convert from DMS to decimal.
Google for 'DMS to decimal degrees convert'.

You also need very accurate points. Suggest you use some online mapping tool
that will give you accurate lon/lats based on a point.
