    Hey, great going. Looks like with Weems' sec/csc tables in The Secant Time 
    Sight book (Public Domain, according to Google Books site) and the formulas 
    in the lower right of figure 1 you have what you need to compute an LOP.
    
    Also looks like the formulas should be easy to restate into cos/sin for slide 
    rules. Will check this out later.

    Makes the $13.50 just for Precomp look somewhat expensive.I don't remember 
    where I got my copy from - perhaps through the RIN, and I'm sure it wasn't 
    $50 at the time.John
