Just to be clear, 1) This is an edit of my "hand implementation" of the last atmo.diff from John. 2) The kollsman shift is not saved to the property tree. 3) The kap140.nas is updated to compute the baroShift only when the baroSetting changes. The baroShift is computed in kap140 and the constants used are reconciled with the corresponding constants in atmo.cxx and atmo.hxx. 4) I did not change my bug fix to John's version of the fix for the fgGetLowPass PA rounding bug. His fix and mine are computational equivalents. Melchior, please look at the indents, etc. and if you see anything I missed or misinterpreted, let me know. Roy, please look at the changes to kap140.nas and make any suggestions/comments. John, any comments? I compiled and tested the edited code. Any other testing is welcome. If there are no changes requested after a few days, would Melchior please put this in cvs. The last time I attached a patch, Sourceforge deleted it, so I will send the patch off list to Melchior, Roy, and John just to be sure.
