28 *> \par Purpose:
29 * =============
30 *>
31 *> \verbatim
32 *>
33 *> SLABAD takes as input the values computed by SLAMCH for underflow and
34 *> overflow, and returns the square root of each of these values if the
35 *> log of LARGE is sufficiently large. This subroutine is intended to
36 *> identify machines with a large exponent range, such as the Crays, and
37 *> redefine the underflow and overflow limits to be the square roots of
38 *> the values computed by SLAMCH. This subroutine is needed because
39 *> SLAMCH does not compensate for poor arithmetic in the upper half of
40 *> the exponent range, as is found on a Cray.
41 *> \endverbatim

43 * Arguments:
44 * ==========
45 *
46 *> \param[in,out] SMALL
47 *> \verbatim
48 *> SMALL is REAL
49 *> On entry, the underflow threshold as computed by SLAMCH.
50 *> On exit, if LOG10(LARGE) is sufficiently large, the square
51 *> root of SMALL, otherwise unchanged.
52 *> \endverbatim
53 *>
54 *> \param[in,out] LARGE
55 *> \verbatim
56 *> LARGE is REAL
57 *> On entry, the overflow threshold as computed by SLAMCH.
58 *> On exit, if LOG10(LARGE) is sufficiently large, the square
59 *> root of LARGE, otherwise unchanged.
