C   This "program" calculates geometrical parameters of the methyl group rotor
C   suitable for constructing Z-matrix
C   The experimental data from microwave spectroscopy for CH3--something
C   are frequently given as a C--H bond lengths and H--C--H angle for
C   a equilateral methyl piramid (idealized), and the deviation of the
C   the C--something bond from the rotation axis of the CH3 (so called
C   methyl group tilt). These data have to be converted to other parameters
C   to be used in construction of the Z-matrix for the molecule.
C   
C   Input: 
C   d = C--H bond length and  theta = angle H--C--H
C
C   Output:
C   a = distance H....H (the side of the equilateral triangle formed by 3 H's)
C   h = the height of the equilateral triangle formed by 3 H atoms
C   v = height of the isosceles H--C--H
C   alpha = angle between the C--H bond and the height of the CH3 pyramid
C   Hp = the height of the pyramid formed by CH3
C   beta = angle between height of the H--C--H isosceles (v) and the
C          height of pyramid (Hp)
C   Sorry for FORTRAN ugliness, but it is a translation of the C original
