     This program derives a continuum by draping line segments over the  top
of  the spectrum.  The user can remove the spectrum and then drape line seg-
ments into the remaining absorption features.  The iteration level can  con-
tinue  until  the  continuum  matches  the  entire  spectrum.  The method is
described in detail in:
