Well, I got all the way to the next example (schmidt cassegrain). This time I 
had to do a whole bunch of math. The prescription they give simply says:

	Paraxial Radius of corrector -45029
	Radius of neutral zone  86.6
	Relative power 83.42%
	Radius of Primary -817.465

Using these numbers and the 2 pages of equations in Chapter 20, I was able to 
come up with the following numbers for the coefficients:

	A = -1.11071229e-5
	B = 2.30531e-10
	C = 3.442062e-14

and plugging "A" back into R = 1/2A I get -45012 as the radius of corrector, 
from which I assumed my numbers were correct (I also checked the program I 
wrote to generate them several times). Plugging these numbers into Oslo, I 
get yet another horrible performing scope (spot sizes of 1mm). Oslo also 
claims the f/ratio of the system is 14, while the prescription says f/10. So, 
I obviously set something wrong (again). Can someone tell me where I screwed 
up? File is attached.

Thanks in advance for your time and patience with the newbie.
