C***DESCRIPTION
C
C   R1MACH can be used to obtain machine-dependent parameters for the
C   local machine environment.  It is a function subprogram with one
C   (input) argument, and can be referenced as follows:
C
C        A = R1MACH(I)
C
C   where I=1,...,5.  The (output) value of A above is determined by
C   the (input) value of I.  The results for various values of I are
C   discussed below.
C
C   R1MACH(1) = B**(EMIN-1), the smallest positive magnitude.
C   R1MACH(2) = B**EMAX*(1 - B**(-T)), the largest magnitude.
C   R1MACH(3) = B**(-T), the smallest relative spacing.
C   R1MACH(4) = B**(1-T), the largest relative spacing.
C   R1MACH(5) = LOG10(B)
C
C   Assume single precision numbers are represented in the T-digit,
C   base-B form
C
C              sign (B**E)*( (X(1)/B) + ... + (X(T)/B**T) )
C
C   where 0 .LE. X(I) .LT. B for I=1,...,T, 0 .LT. X(1), and
C   EMIN .LE. E .LE. EMAX.
C
C   The values of B, T, EMIN and EMAX are provided in I1MACH as
C   follows:
C   I1MACH(10) = B, the base.
C   I1MACH(11) = T, the number of base-B digits.
C   I1MACH(12) = EMIN, the smallest exponent E.
C   I1MACH(13) = EMAX, the largest exponent E.
C
C   To alter this function for a particular environment, the desired
C   set of DATA statements should be activated by removing the C from
C   column 1.  Also, the values of R1MACH(1) - R1MACH(4) should be
C   checked for consistency with the local operating system.
