Re: [ATM] Luri-Houghton prescriptions.



The TRACE program assumes that the scope is pointing up and that
down is negative for distance as well as curvature so a typical
refractor will have the following order of signs, -,+,+,?.  The
distances are absolute also.  As a result, the first curve is
negative and the distances all tend to be negative.
