 *
 *	The maximum relative error for the approximating polynomial
 *	in DATAN is 10**(-16.82).  However, this assumes exact arithmetic
 *	in the polynomial evaluation.  Additional rounding and
 *	truncation errors may occur as the argument is reduced
 *	to the range over which the polynomial approximation
 *	is valid, and as the polynomial is evaluated using
 *	finite-precision arithmetic.

 *	Computes arccosine(X) from:
 *
 *		(1)	If X = 0.0 then DACOS(X) = PI/2.
 *
 *		(2)	If X = 1.0 then DACOS(X) = 0.0
 *
 *		(3)	If X = -1.0 then DACOS(X) = PI.
 *
 *		(4)	If 0.0 < X < 1.0 then
 *			DACOS(X) = DATAN(Y)
 *			Y = DSQRT[1-(X**2)] / X
 *
 *		(4)	If -1.0 < X < 0.0 then
 *			DACOS(X) = DATAN(Y) + PI
 *			Y = DSQRT[1-(X**2)] / X
