First, yes, the atmospheric pressure can affect the melting 
and boiling points to some degree.  If you put water
under a vacuum at room temperature, it will boil.  However,
the effect is not as significant for solids.

Secondly, are those new temperatures correct?  I get 1261K
or 988 deg C for the first two, and 2476K or 2203 deg C for
the second.  I'm still pretty sure about the intrepetation
of '.', '\' and '/' as solid, liquid, and gas (as it fits
in will with later statements), but the temperatures no
longer are close with the expect MP of iron of 1535 deg C.
In order to match this, the conversion between a TCtemp
unit and kelvins must be .087075 K/TCtemp unit, instead
of .060667.  This causes the other temperatures to be
extremely high.
