-
- 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

- * 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.
