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

Revision 1.2 1998/10/16 23:36:37 curt
c++-ifying.
Revision 1.1 1998/10/16 19:30:42 curt
Renamed .c -> .h so we can start adding c++ supporting routines.
Revision 1.4 1998/07/08 14:40:08 curt
polar3d.[ch] renamed to polar3d.[ch]xx, vector.[ch] renamed to vector.[ch]xx
Updated fg_geodesy comments to reflect that routines expect and produce
meters.
Revision 1.3 1998/04/21 17:03:48 curt
Prepairing for C++ integration.
Revision 1.2 1998/01/22 02:59:38 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.
