      NAME
           max, max0, amax0, max1, amax1, dmax1 - Fortran maximum-value
           functions

      SYNTAX
           integer i, j, k, l
           real a, b, c, d
           double precision dp1, dp2, dp3

           l = max(i, j, k)
           c = max(a, b)
           dp = max(a, b, c)
           k = max0(i, j)
           a = amax0(i, j, k)
           i = max1(a, b)
           d = amax1(a, b, c)
           dp3 = dmax1(dp1, dp2)

      DESCRIPTION
           The maximum-value functions return the largest of their
           arguments (of which there may be any number).  Max is the
           generic form which can be used for all data types and takes
           its return type from that of its arguments (which must all
           be of the same type).  Max0 returns the integer form of the
           maximum value of its integer arguments; amax0, the real form
           of its integer arguments; max1, the integer form of its real
           arguments; amax1, the real form of its real arguments; and
           dmax1, the double-precision form of its double-precision
           arguments.
