      FUNCTION R9PAK (Y, N)
C***BEGIN PROLOGUE  R9PAK
C***PURPOSE  Pack a base 2 exponent into a floating point number.
C***LIBRARY   SLATEC (FNLIB)
C***CATEGORY  A6B
C***TYPE      SINGLE PRECISION (R9PAK-S, D9PAK-D)
C***KEYWORDS  FNLIB, PACK

C***DESCRIPTION
C
C Pack a base 2 exponent into floating point number Y.  This
C routine is almost the inverse of R9UPAK.  It is not exactly
C the inverse, because ABS(X) need not be between 0.5 and
C 1.0.  If both R9PAK and 2.0**N were known to be in range, we
C could compute
C       R9PAK = Y * 2.0**N .
