If you don't wanna code this yourself, Tuurs toolbox is a great free helper.

Hi Loki
I found that post just after I posted my original question.
The toolbox gives the basic information that I need.
However, considering that this information is essential for setting the initial view of a pano it's a bit disappointing that it's not available within KRPano itself considering that the "Options" plugin used to provide it - bit of an oversight I feel!
