 Explanation of machine-dependent constants

   beta   = Radix for the floating-point system
   minexp = Smallest representable power of beta
   maxexp = Smallest power of beta that overflows
   it = p = Number of bits (base-beta digits) in the mantissa
        (significand) of a working precision (floating-point) variable
   NSIG   = Decimal significance desired.  Should be set to
        INT(LOG10(2)*it+1).  Setting NSIG lower will result
        in decreased accuracy while setting NSIG higher will
        increase CPU time without increasing accuracy.  The
        truncation error is limited to a relative error of
        T=.5*10^(-NSIG).
   ENTEN  = 10 ^ K, where K is the largest long such that
        ENTEN is machine-representable in working precision
   ENSIG  = 10 ^ NSIG
   RTNSIG = 10 ^ (-K) for the smallest long K such that
        K >= NSIG/4
   ENMTEN = Smallest ABS(X) such that X/4 does not underflow
   XINF   = Largest positive machine number; approximately beta ^ maxexp
        == DBL_MAX (defined in  #include <float.h>)
   SQXMIN = Square root of beta ^ minexp = sqrt(DBL_MIN)

   EPS    = The smallest positive floating-point number such that 1.0+EPS > 1.0
      = beta ^ (-p)  == DBL_EPSILON


  For I :

   EXPARG = Largest working precision argument that the library
        EXP routine can handle and upper limit on the
        magnitude of X when IZE=1; approximately LOG(beta ^ maxexp)

  For I and J :

   xlrg_IJ = xlrg_BESS_IJ (was = XLARGE). Upper limit on the magnitude of X
        (when IZE=2 for I()).  Bear in mind that if floor(abs(x)) =: N, then
        at least N iterations of the backward recursion will be executed.
        The value of 10 ^ 4 was used till Feb.2009, when it was increased
        to 10 ^ 5 (= 1e5).

  For j :
   XMIN_J  = Smallest acceptable argument for RBESY; approximately
        max(2*beta ^ minexp, 2/XINF), rounded up

  For Y :

   xlrg_Y =  (was = XLARGE). Upper bound on X;
        approximately 1/DEL, because the sine and cosine functions
        have lost about half of their precision at that point.

   EPS_SINC = Machine number below which sin(x)/x = 1; approximately SQRT(EPS).
   THRESH = Lower bound for use of the asymptotic form;
        approximately AINT(-LOG10(EPS/2.0))+1.0


  For K :

   xmax_k =  (was = XMAX). Upper limit on the magnitude of X when ize = 1;
        i.e. maximal x for UNscaled answer.

        Solution to equation:
           W(X) * (1 -1/8 X + 9/128 X^2) = beta ^ minexp
        where  W(X) = EXP(-X)*SQRT(PI/2X)
