by entering the file names, cal8.dat, 1066a.dat, prem.dat and corell.dat, or that for
another Earth model in a file with appropriate format, successively, at the request of
the programme during execution. The decompression factor as a function of radius
in the outer core is given in Table 6.4 for Earth models Cal8 and Core11. It is seen
not to be strongly dependent on Earth model.
