CURVE
CURVE is a number corresponding to the method to be used to fit the
curve. Generally, CURVE should be set to 2.
The curve types currently available are:
1 - piecewise straight line
2 - cubic spline
21 - cubic spline with linear ends
22 - cubic spline with parabolic ends
23 - cubic spline with extrapolated ends
Note that types 2 and 21 are the same. Types 22 and 23 produce
slightly different results at the ends of the splines.
