% gsw_interp_ref_cast            linear interpolation of the reference cast
%==========================================================================
% This function interpolates the reference cast with respect to the 
% interpolating variable "spycnl".  This reference cast is at the location 
% 188E,4N from the reference data set which underlies the Jackett & 
% McDougall (1997) Neutral Density computer code.  This function finds the 
% values of SA, CT and p on this reference cast which correspond to the 
% value of isopycnal which is passed to this function from the function 
% "gsw_geo_strf_isopycnal_CT".  The isopycnal could be either gamma_n or 
% sigma_2. If A is set to any of the following 's2','S2','sigma2','sigma_2'
% the interpolation will take place in sigma 2 space, any other input
% will result in the programme working in gamma_n space.
