Arguments

Bchronversion The version number of Bchron (used for plotting).

lowcal The lowest calendar age limit allowed on the calibration curve in k cal years BP (-0.005 for IntCal04).
highcal The highest calendar age limit allowed on the calibration curve in k cal years BP (26 for IntCal04).
name (character) The name of the input files for the core.
ddepthfile (character) The path to the design depths file (the dates at which pollen was taken for a pollen core).
