*  =======
*
*  DLAMCH determines double precision machine parameters.
*
*  Arguments
*  =========
*
*  CMACH   (input) CHARACTER*1
*          Specifies the value to be returned by DLAMCH:
*          = 'E' or 'e',   DLAMCH := eps
*          = 'S' or 's ,   DLAMCH := sfmin
*          = 'B' or 'b',   DLAMCH := base
*          = 'P' or 'p',   DLAMCH := eps*base
*          = 'N' or 'n',   DLAMCH := t
*          = 'R' or 'r',   DLAMCH := rnd
*          = 'M' or 'm',   DLAMCH := emin
*          = 'U' or 'u',   DLAMCH := rmin
*          = 'L' or 'l',   DLAMCH := emax
*          = 'O' or 'o',   DLAMCH := rmax
*
*          where
*
*          eps   = relative machine precision
*          sfmin = safe minimum, such that 1/sfmin does not overflow
*          base  = base of the machine
*          prec  = eps*base
*          t     = number of (base) digits in the mantissa
*          rnd   = 1.0 when rounding occurs in addition, 0.0 otherwise
*          emin  = minimum exponent before (gradual) underflow
*          rmin  = underflow threshold - base**(emin-1)
*          emax  = largest exponent before overflow
*          rmax  = overflow threshold  - (base**emax)*(1-eps)
