NAME

6       Surface_params - This document briefly describes the Surface internal
7       parameters.
8

DESCRIPTION

10       There are no parameter access routines available for the Surface
11       utility.  Therefore, parameters must be set through the common blocks
12       SRFBLK and SRFIP1.
13
14       In order to access the internal parameters, you must declare the
15       following common blocks for the Surface parameters in your code.
