   The program Kjell posted was truncated.  I FTP'd to 192.12.184.72 (topgun.
dspo.gov) and got plates.c from the /pub/usml directory.  Here is the whole
program...

 *      Do it on a sphere, not a square torus
 *	Give plates angular momentum
 *	Make some constants variable
 *	Horsts and grabens
 *	Let 2 plates fuse together and/or 1 plate split apart sometimes
 *	Astroblemes
 *	Take density of rock into account
