- * coded in C by K.C. Ng, 4/30/85

- * Accuracy:
- * better than 0.667 ulps according to an error analysis. Maximum
- * error observed was 0.666 ulps in an 1,000,000 random arguments test.
- *
- * Warning: this code is semi machine dependent; the ordering of words in
- * a floating point number must be known in advance. I assume that the
- * long interger at the address of a floating point number will be the
- * leading 32 bits of that floating point number (i.e., sign, exponent,
- * and the 20 most significant bits).
- * On a National machine, it has different ordering; therefore, this code
- * must be compiled with flag -DNATIONAL.
