    Purpose   
    =======   

    DLAMC1 determines the machine parameters given by BETA, T, RND, and   
    IEEE1.   

    Arguments   
    =========   

    BETA    (output) INT   
            The base of the machine.   

    T       (output) INT   
            The number of ( BETA ) digits in the mantissa.   

    RND     (output) INT   
            Specifies whether proper rounding  ( RND = .TRUE. )  or   
            chopping  ( RND = .FALSE. )  occurs in addition. This may not 
  
            be a reliable guide to the way in which the machine performs 
  
            its arithmetic.   

    IEEE1   (output) INT   
            Specifies whether rounding appears to be done in the IEEE   
            'round to nearest' style.   

    Further Details   
    ===============   

    The routine is based on the routine  ENVRON  by Malcolm and   
    incorporates suggestions by Gentleman and Marovich. See

    Purpose   
    =======   

    DLAMC5 attempts to compute RMAX, the largest machine floating-point   
    number, without overflow.  It assumes that EMAX + abs(EMIN) sum   
    approximately to a power of 2.  It will fail on machines where this   
    assumption does not hold, for example, the Cyber 205 (EMIN = -28625, 
  
    EMAX = 28718).  It will also fail if the value supplied for EMIN is   
    too large (i.e. too close to zero), probably with overflow.   

    Arguments   
    =========   

    BETA    (input) INT   
            The base of floating-point arithmetic.   

    P       (input) INT   
            The number of base BETA digits in the mantissa of a   
            floating-point value.   

    EMIN    (input) INT   
            The minimum exponent before (gradual) underflow.   

    IEEE    (input) INT   
            A int flag specifying whether or not the arithmetic   
            system is thought to comply with the IEEE standard.   

    EMAX    (output) INT   
            The largest exponent before overflow   

    RMAX    (output) DOUBLE PRECISION   
            The largest machine floating-point number.   

   ===================================================================== 
  


       First compute LEXP and UEXP, two powers of 2 that bound   
       abs(EMIN). We then assume that EMAX + abs(EMIN) will sum   
       approximately to the bound that is closest to abs(EMIN).   
       (EMAX is the exponent of the required number RMAX). */

          most likely. We have to assume the last alternative.   
          If this is true, then we need to reduce EMAX by one because
