 *
 *	+++ DESCRIPTION +++
 *
 *	Returns double precision arc tangent of two
 *	double precision floating point arguments DATAN(Y/X).
 *
 *	+++ USAGE +++
 *
 *	 double atan2(y, x)
 *	 double y, x;

 *
 *	+++ RESTRICTIONS +++
 *
 *	This is a modification of the original algorithm.  Argument
 * 	conventions now follow Vax-11C and Fortran-77.
 *
 *	The arguments are Y followed by X and it computes atan Y/X.
 *	This makes it compatable with VAX-11 C and UNIX (and Fortran-77).

 *	For precision information refer to documentation of the
 *	other floating point library routines called.

 *	This routine now conforms with the description of the atan2()
 *	function as defined in
 *	Harbison & Steele's "C: A Reference Manual", section 11.3.5
 *
 *	+++ INTERNALS +++
 *
 *	Computes atan(Y/X) from:
 *
 *		1.	If X = 0 then
 *			atan(Y,X) = PI/2 * _sign(Y)
 *
 *		2.	If X > 0 then
 *			atan(Y,X) = atan(Y/X)
 *
 *		3.	If X < 0 then atan2(Y,X) =
 *			PI * _sign(Y) + atan(Y/X)
