      subroutine interp_line(x1,y1,len1,x2,y2,len2)
      implicit none
!-----------------------------------------------------------------------
!
!  Purpose: Do a series of linear interpolations
!  Data sets are organized as vectors (see below)
!  If x2(:), and abscissa at which interpolation is requiered, lies
!  outside of the interval covered by x1(:), instead of doing an
!  extrapolation, y2() is set to the value y1() corresponding to
!  the nearby x1(:) point
!  
c-----------------------------------------------------------------------
!  arguments
!  ---------
!  inputs:
      real x1(len1) ! ordered list of abscissas
      real y1(len1) ! values at x1(:)
      integer len1  ! length of x1(:) and y1(:)
      real x2(len2) !ordered list of abscissas at which interpolation is done
      integer len2  ! length of x2(:) and y2(:)
!  outputs:
      real y2(len2) ! interpolated values

      integer i,j
