I'm not especially clear on what this problem was but
the "ray.h" in the sp5data directory WAS SCREWED UP.

In cutting and pasting it together the author (me) failed
to put the

#include "rayhdrs.h"

at the end. The necessity of doing this was described earlier. I
believe I have corrected this now. If there are other troubles
please let me know ASAP.

This was a nasty slackism committed by the author (me)
it would be nice to have a consistent output format.

I encourage everyone to do better than I did.
