       falling within the current geographic region from  UTM  coordinates  to
       geographic (latitude/longitude) coordinates.

       _m_._r_e_g_i_o_n_._l_l  takes  current  geographic	region settings in UTM coordi-
       nates, and converts them to geographic coordinates (i.e., latitudes and
       longitudes).   It  also prints the length (in meters) of one arc-second
       at each of the four edges of the  geographic  region.   The  user  must
       enter the spheroid upon which to base the geographic coordinates.


       The  list  of spheroids available is somewhat dynamic.  It may not con-
       tain exactly the ones listed below.  To determine the current  list  of
       possible spheroids, simply type in: mm..rreeggiioonn..llll hheellpp

       A list of available spheroids will be printed on the screen.
