Add uvect to find a unit vector from a vector or from a line.
1993 November 2 18:20. Made code GEOM, with input lines input, coord, angle
and point, to specify input file ('tty'* or filename), coordinate system
('rect'*, 'cyl' or 'sph'), units of angles ('degrees'* or 'radians'), and to
create points (ptname, a, b, c). Default point is origin (0,0,0).
NEXT: Add lines (two points). Add vectors (lines, or 3 cosines).
