*  Purpose
*  =======
*
*  SLAMC2 determines the machine parameters specified in its argument
*  list.
*
*  Arguments
*  =========
*
*  BETA    (output) INTEGER
*          The base of the machine.
*
*  T       (output) INTEGER
*          The number of ( BETA ) digits in the mantissa.
*
*  RND     (output) LOGICAL
*          Specifies whether proper rounding  ( RND = .TRUE. )  or
*          chopping  ( RND = .FALSE. )  occurs in addition. This may not
*          be a reliable guide to the way in which the machine performs
*          its arithmetic.
*
*  EPS     (output) REAL
*          The smallest positive number such that
*
*             fl( 1.0 - EPS ) .LT. 1.0,
*
*          where fl denotes the computed value.
*
*  EMIN    (output) INTEGER
*          The minimum exponent before (gradual) underflow occurs.
*
*  RMIN    (output) REAL
*          The smallest normalized number for the machine, given by
*          BASE**( EMIN - 1 ), where  BASE  is the floating point value
*          of BETA.
*
*  EMAX    (output) INTEGER
*          The maximum exponent before overflow occurs.
*
*  RMAX    (output) REAL
*          The largest positive number for the machine, given by
*          BASE**EMAX * ( 1 - EPS ), where  BASE  is the floating point
*          value of BETA.
*
*  Further Details
*  ===============
*
*  The computation of  EPS  is based on a routine PARANOIA by
*  W. Kahan of the University of California at Berkeley.
