* PURPOSE : THIS IS A FILE OF ROUTINES THAT HAVE BEEN DECLARED EXTERNAL  *
*          IN THE  MAIN PROGRAM & WHICH ARE PASSED INTO THE ROUTINE      *
*          DHPCG THAT SOLVES THE SYSTEM OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS.       *

* FCT : CALCULATES THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS     *
* OUTP : EVERY OUTPUT POINT IN THE INTEGRATION PROCESS IS HANDED ONTO THI*
*       -S ROUTINE BY THE DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION SOLVER DHPCG. THIS OUTPUT*
*       POINT IS A POINT IN THE LINE-SEGMENT OF THE TRAJECTORY WHICH IS  *
*       THEN TESTED AGAINST THE VARIOUS SURFACES BY CALLING THE ROUTINE  *
*       'CHECHIT' TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE PARTICLE HITS ANY OF THE SURFA* 
*       -CES AND LOST OR ESCAPED. TRAJECTORY CALCULATION CONTINUES UNTIL *
*       THE FATE OF THE PARTICLE IS DETERMINED.                          *
