MODIFICATION HISTORY:
DATE PURPOSE BY
930208 Modified to avoid singularity near polar region. 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. EBJ
CURRENT RCS HEADER:

$Log$
Revision 1.2 1998/01/19 18:40:25 curt
Tons of little changes to clean up the code and to remove fatal errors
when building with the c++ compiler.
Revision 1.1 1997/05/29 00:09:56 curt
Initial Flight Gear revision.
* Revision 1.5 1994/01/11 18:47:05 bjax
* Changed include files to use types and constants, not ls_eom.h
* Also changed DATA type to SCALAR type.
*
* Revision 1.4 1993/12/14 21:06:47 bjax
* Removed global variable references Altitude and Latitude. EBJ
*
* Revision 1.3 1993/06/02 15:03:40 bjax
* Made new subroutine for calculating geodetic to geocentric; changed name
* of forward conversion routine from ls_geodesy to ls_geoc_to_geod.
