NAME
     flmin, flmax, dflmin, dflmax, inmax - return extreme values

SYNOPSIS
     function flmin()

     function flmax()

     double precision function dflmin()

     double precision function dflmax()

     function inmax()

DESCRIPTION
     Functions _f_l_m_i_n and _f_l_m_a_x return the minimum and maximum
     positive floating point values respectively.  Functions
     _d_f_l_m_i_n and _d_f_l_m_a_x return the minimum and maximum positive
     double precision floating point values.  Function _i_n_m_a_x
     returns the maximum positive integer value.

     These functions can be used by programs that must scale
     algorithms to the numerical range of the processor.
