    Defines: double strtod (char *str, char**ptr)
*/

/*  This is an implementation of the strtod() function described in the 
    System V manuals, with a different name to avoid linker problems.
    All that str2dbl() does itself is check that the argument is well-formed
    and is in range.  It leaves the work of conversion to atof(), which is
    assumed to exist and deliver correct results (if they can be represented).

    There are two reasons why this should be provided to the net:
    (a) some UNIX systems do not yet have strtod(), or do not have it
        available in the BSD "universe" (but they do have atof()).
    (b) some of the UNIX systems that *do* have it get it wrong.
	(some crash with large arguments, some assign the wrong *ptr value).
    There is a reason why *we* are providing it: we need a correct version
    of strtod(), and if we give this one away maybe someone will look for
    mistakes in it and fix them for us (:-).

/*  The following constants are machine-specific.  MD{MIN,MAX}EXPT are
    integers and MD{MIN,MAX}FRAC are strings such that
	0.${MDMAXFRAC}e${MDMAXEXPT} is the largest representable double,
	0.${MDMINFRAC}e${MDMINEXPT} is the smallest representable +ve double
    MD{MIN,MAX}FRAC must not have any trailing zeros.
    The values here are for IEEE-754 64-bit floats.
    It is not perfectly clear to me whether an IEEE infinity should be
    returned for overflow, nor what a portable way of writing one is,
    so HUGE is just 0.MAXFRAC*10**MAXEXPT (this seems still to be the
    UNIX convention).

    I do know about <values.h>, but the whole point of this file is that
    we can't always trust that stuff to be there or to be correct.
