69 * polar3d.[ch] renamed to polar3d.[ch]xx, vector.[ch] renamed to vector.[ch]xx
70 * Updated fg_geodesy comments to reflect that routines expect and produce

74 * polar.[ch] renamed to polar3d.[ch]
76 * Revision 1.9 1998/04/25 22:06:23 curt
77 * Edited cvs log messages in source files ... bad bad bad!
