Dear 2002 Conference attendees,

John Carmichael tried my wall declination formula, and it did not work 
because I mistakenly put a minus sign where it didn't belong.  I'm sorry to 
make an error in a method that was supposed to be so simple.

The Correct formula is 
Wall Dec. = A +/-ArcCos[Sin(C)/Cos(B)],
NOT Wall Dec. = -A +/-ArcCos[Sin(C)/Cos(B)].

Note the minus sign before "A" has been removed.  Please correct this on your 
handout.

To the list members who were not at the conference, I apologize for the  
irrelevance of this message.
