EBJ 930602 Moved backwards calcs here from ls_step. EBJ 931214 Changed erroneous Latitude and Altitude variables to *lat_geod and *alt in routine ls_geoc_to_geod. EBJ 940111 Changed header files from old ls_eom.h style to ls_types, and ls_constants. Also replaced old DATA type with new SCALAR type.
