***********************************************************************
* PURPOSE : THIS PROGRAM IS A GENERAL ROUTINE TO PLOT FOUR PLOTS ON A *
*           PAGE. THIS ROUTINE WAS USED TO PLOT THE ANGULAR DISTRIBUT *
*          -IONS OF THE PARTICLES THAT ESCAPE THE SENSOR SUBSYSTEM AT *
*           THE DETECTOR SURFACE AND AT THE OPENING APERTURE.         *
* VARIABLES :                                                         *
* FNAME : NAME OF THE FILE FROM WHICH THE COORDINATES TO BE PLOTTED   *
*        ARE READ.                                                    *
* Ho,Vo : NUMBERS WHICH SPECIFY THE COORDINATE TO BE PLOTTED ON THE X *
*        AXIS AND THE Y-AXIS.                                         *
* NP : NUMBER OF PLOTS REQUIRED ON A PAGE.                            *
* X, Y : 2-D ARRAYS WHOSE NUMBER OF ROWS EQUALS THE NUMBER OF LINES TO*
*       BE PLOTTED AND THE NUMBER OF COLUMNS FOR EACH ROW EQUALS THE  *
*       NUMBER OF POINTS IN EACH ROW.                                 *
* TITLE, XLAB, YLAB : RESPECTIVELY, THE TITLE OF THE PLOT, THE X-LABEL*
*                    AND THE Y-LABEL OF THE GRAPH.                    *
* XYZ : 1-D ARRAY INTO WHICH THE COORDINATES ARE READ INTO.           *
