I hope this is not what INTERNALLY means.  But you could take a
look of the source of an example program named "cbex01.f".  It's
PURPOSE states:

      To provide a simple demonstration of the use of BIVAR and
      CONPACK together as a temporary replacement for CONRAN.

It should be in the subdirectory like ncar/ncarg2d/src/examples/emisc/
if the original source was unpacked on a UNIX machine.  Good luck!

PS: I'm gonna start using this bivar routine very soon.  If this is
not the right one, would someone please drop me a note?  Thanks.
