NAME
       INSTALL/slamch.f

SYNOPSIS
   Functions/Subroutines
       real function slamch (cmach)
           SLAMCH
       real function slamc3 (a, b)
           SLAMC3

Function/Subroutine Documentation
   real function slamc3 (real a, real b)
       SLAMC3 Purpose:

        SLAMC3  is intended to force  A  and  B  to be stored prior to doing
        the addition of  A  and  B ,  for use in situations where optimizers
        might hold one of these in a register.

   real function slamch (character cmach)
       SLAMCH

       Purpose:


            SLAMCH determines single precision machine parameters.

       Parameters
           CMACH

                     CMACH is CHARACTER*1
                     Specifies the value to be returned by SLAMCH:
                     = 'E' or 'e',   SLAMCH := eps
                     = 'S' or 's ,   SLAMCH := sfmin
                     = 'B' or 'b',   SLAMCH := base
                     = 'P' or 'p',   SLAMCH := eps*base
                     = 'N' or 'n',   SLAMCH := t
                     = 'R' or 'r',   SLAMCH := rnd
                     = 'M' or 'm',   SLAMCH := emin
                     = 'U' or 'u',   SLAMCH := rmin
                     = 'L' or 'l',   SLAMCH := emax
                     = 'O' or 'o',   SLAMCH := rmax
                     where
                     eps   = relative machine precision
                     sfmin = safe minimum, such that 1/sfmin does not overflow
                     base  = base of the machine
                     prec  = eps*base
                     t     = number of (base) digits in the mantissa
                     rnd   = 1.0 when rounding occurs in addition, 0.0 otherwise
                     emin  = minimum exponent before (gradual) underflow
                     rmin  = underflow threshold - base**(emin-1)
                     emax  = largest exponent before overflow
                     rmax  = overflow threshold  - (base**emax)*(1-eps)
