I've posted an update of

    http://charles.karney.info/geographic/UTM-fi.txt

This contains a listing of the errors quoted as meters on the ground
(instead of meters in TM space).  This also includes the coefficients
for the 12th order series for the TM calculation and I say where the
extra terms go in Krueger's 1912 paper.

Finally, I've also posted 3 maxima files:

tmseries.mac -- maxima code to generate the coefficients for the series
    in UTM-fi.txt.

tmscale.mac -- maxima code to generate series approximations for the
    scale and meridian convergence in UTM-fi.txt.

revert.mac -- maxima code for the reversion of a series (used by
    tmseries.mac).

These were important for me because I never like coding up a series
solution unless I have some way of generating the general term in the
series.

You'll need to have maxima installed to run these.  (This is easy if
you're running Linux.)  Sorry, but this code is neither pretty nor
efficient (nor is is documented).  Ask if you have questions...
