  Transformation program for the 'Atlas of Lithological-Paleogeographical
  Maps of the World - Mesozoic and Cenozoic of continents and oceans'
  (Ronov et al., 1989)  -   Version 1.4 (1994)
                                                                         
    
  This code has been placed in the public domain and you should feel free
  to pass the program to your colleagues. However, please do not separate
  this file from the rest of the programs.                           
                                                                             
  All code has been tested, though not rigorusly, and is correct to the best 
  of my knowledge. However, I make no guarentees. If you find any errors or  
  make any changes/enhancements, I would appreciate it if you inform me.     
                                                                              
  If you use the program to transform data for publications, then please 
  don't forget to cite our article:

  The package contains the following files: 
 
        PALEOMAP.EXE  The transformation program (8088 version)
        PALEOM87.EXE  As before but only if your PC is a 286/87 or above
        PALEOMAP.PAS  Turbo Pascal 6.0 source code
        PALEOM87.PAS  Turbo Pascal 6.0 source code
        XY2CNEWT.PAS  Include file for inverse transformation
        FDJAC.PAS     \
        FMIN.PAS       | Inlude files used by XY2CNEWT.PAS; these files
        NEWT.PAS       | are Pascal translations of the C routines of
        LNSRCH.PAS    /  Press et al., 1992.
        IPOW287D.OBJ  Object file used by PALEOM87 to determine x^y
        IPOW287D.ASM  Assembler code
        LC_HSL.XY     Test data, digitized Late Cretaceous sea-level
                      highstand (cf. Figure 2)
        README.TXT    This file



  In order to recompile the program you will need the following Numerical
  recipes (Press et al., 1989) routines:

            LUDCMP.PAS
            LUBKSB.PAS.

  The source codes of these algorithms are not included due to copyright
  limitations.
  
  The 80286/87 version of the program runs about 4 times faster than the
  8088 version. 
  
  If you are using a 80286 CPU without coprocessor you may recompile the 
  program (PALEOMAP.PAS) setting the {G-} compiler option to {G+}.
