Notes and Changes:

This document was no longer findable in a search of the old DCC. We wish to use it as a reference for the S5 Calibration paper (P0900120).

The version posted here was originally found by Greg Mendell here: https://www.lsc-group.phys.uwm.edu/daswg/docs/technical/T010110.pdf

The MAPLE code has now been added as well - it was written in MAPLE V and has not been tested to work with more recent versions of maple (WGA).
