! TEST IF TWO REAL NUMBERS ARE EQUAL
! ***********************************
+! [1] The test performed is
+!
+! ABS( x - y ) < ( ULP * SPACING( MAX(ABS(x),ABS(y)) ) )
+!
+! The numbers are considered equal if true
+!
+! The intrinsic function SPACING(x) returns the absolute spacing of numbers
+! near the value of x,
+!
+! { EXPONENT(x)-DIGITS(x)
+! { 2.0 for x /= 0
+! SPACING(x) = {
+! {
+! { TINY(x) for x == 0
+!
+! The ULP optional argument scales the comparison:
+!
+! Unit of data precision. The acronym stands for "unit in
+! the last place," the smallest possible increment or decrement
+! that can be made using a machine's floating point arithmetic.
+! A 0.5 ulp maximum error is the best you could hope for, since
+! this corresponds to always rounding to the nearest representable
+! floating-point number. Value must be positive - if a negative
+! value is supplied, the absolute value is used.
+! If not specified, the default value is 1.
+!
+! James Van Buskirk and James Giles suggested this method for floating
+! point comparisons in the comp.lang.fortran newsgroup.
+!
