11 January 2006: Thanks to Ian Smith for pointing out that my
earlier difficulties with this program were caused simply by
using the wrong set of machine constants!
The original, true, correct version of ACM TOMS Algorithm 708
is available through ACM:
http://www.acm.org/pubs/calgo
or NETLIB:
http://www.netlib.org/toms/index.html.
Languages:
TOMS708 is available in
a JAVA version and
a FORTRAN77 version and
a FORTRAN90 version.
