c***purpose  the routine determines the limit of a given sequence of
c            approximations, by means of the epsilon algorithm of
c            p.wynn. an estimate of the absolute error is also given.
c            the condensed epsilon table is computed. only those
c            elements needed for the computation of the next diagonal
c            are preserved.

c
c           epmach is the largest relative spacing.
c           oflow is the largest positive magnitude.
c           limexp is the maximum number of elements the epsilon
c           table can contain. if this number is reached, the upper
c           diagonal of the epsilon table is deleted.
