*****************************************************************************
*                       PROGRAM DMAIN1                                      *
* PURPOSE : THIS IS THE MAIN PROGRAM IN A SET OF ROUTINES TO CALCULATE THE  *
*          MAGNETIC FIELD AT DESIRED POINTS IN SPACE AND TO PLOT THE FIELD  *
*          VALUES WITH RESPECT TO X OR Y AXIS.                              *
* ROUTINES TO BE LINKED : DMAIN1, DMAINTESTIN1, FDMOD1, PLOTR4MYY1          *
* DESCRIPTION : (1) DMAIN1:THIS IS THE MAIN ROUTINE TO FIND THE FIELD VALUES*
*                 AT THE DESIRED POINTS IN SPACE. IT READS IN THE EXPERIMENT*
*                -ALLY OBSERVED VALUES FROM THE DATA FILE 'BFIELD.DAT', ITER*
*                -ATES UPON THE COORDINATES X AND Y AT Z=0.0, FINDS THE     *
*                 MAGNETIC FIELD AND COMPUTES THE RELATIVE PERCENTAGE ERROR *
*                 BETWEEN THE EXPERIMENTALLY OBSERVED VALUES AND THE CALCULA*
*                -TED VALUES AT THOSE DESIRED POINTS. FINALLY, IT HANDS     *
*                 IN THE ARRAYS THAT CONTAIN THE EXPERIMENTALLY OBSERVED VAL*
*                -UES (EXPT) AND THE CALCULATED VALUES (MGZ) TO THE ROUTINE *
*                 DMAINTESTIN1 SO THAT THESE CAN BE PLOTTED.                *
*                 THE MAIN PURPOSE IS THAT VARIOUS MODELS OF THE MAGNETIC   *
*                 FIELD CAN BE TESTED BY THIS SET OF ROUTINES SINCE IT HAS  *
*                 TO BE LINKED WITH FDMOD1 WHICH COMPUTES THE FIELD IN SPACE*
*                 AND WHICH IS CHANGEABLE.                                  *
* FOR A MORE DETAILED EXPLANATION, PLEASE SEE THE COMMENTS IN THE ROUTINES  *
* THEMSELVES.                                                               *
*               (2) DMAINTESTIN1:THIS ROUTINE READS FROM THE ARRAYS OF EXPER*
*               -IMENTALLY OBSERVED VALUES AND CALCULATED VALUES INTO ARRAYS*
*                WHICH CAN THEN BE SENT TO THE PLOT ROUTINE SO THAT THESE VA*
*               -LUES CAN BE PLOTTED.                                       *
*               (3) FDMOD1:THIS IS THE ROUTINE THAT COMPUTES THE FIELD COMPO*
*               -NENTS Bx, By AND Bz AT A GIVEN POINT (X,Y,Z) IN SPACE.     *
*               (4) PLOTR4MYY1:THIS PLOTS THE EXPERIMENTALLY OBSERVED VALUES*
*                AND THE CALCULATED VALUES WITH RESPECT TO THE X AND THE Y  *
*                COORDINATES.                                               *
* VARIABLES :                                                               *
* BX, BY, BZ, B : X,Y,Z AND THE TOTAL FIELD VALUES RESPECTIVELY AT A POINT  *
*                IN SPACE.                                                  *
* NOTE : THE FOLLOWING ARRAYS ARE ALL DOUBLE PRECISION ARRAYS.              *
* DIFF : 2-D ARRAY THAT CONTAINS THE RELATIVE PERCENTAGE ERROR BETWEEN THE  *
*       EXPERIMENTALLY OBSERVED VALUES AND THE CALCULATED VALUES.           *
* EXPT : 2-D ARRAY THAT CONTAINS THE EXPERIMENTALLY OBSERVED VALUES AT THE  *
*       GIVEN POINTS IN SPACE. Z=0.0, X=-0.9 >> 0.8 AND Y=-1.1>>0.5. NOTE:  *
*       ALL THE MEASUREMENTS ARE IN INCHES.                                 *
* MAGB : 2-D ARRAY THAT CONTAINS THE CALCULATED TOTAL FIELD VALUES AT THE   *
