30    NOTE:

32    Outputs from this program can differ slightly from machine to machine
33    due to rounding errors.  The intermediate sums are computed internally
34    at double precision and converted to single precision immediately
35    before being written.  Both IA32 and IA64 machines have been compared
36    and the differences (when there are any!) all appear to be acceptable
37    within the slightly different rounding inherent with these two
38    architectures.
