 References: This subroutine is called as follows:
             * CIRCLE2_b1 calls CIRCLE2


 Draw a circle with the centre at (K3, K4) and radius K. Used to draw the
 planet and the chart circles.


 Arguments:

   STP                  The step size for the circle

   K                    The circle's radius

   K3(1 0)              Pixel x-coordinate of the centre of the circle

   K4(1 0)              Pixel y-coordinate of the centre of the circle


 Returns:

   C flag               The C flag is cleared
