C***DESCRIPTION
C
C         On KODE=1, CAIRY computes the complex Airy function Ai(z)
C         or its derivative dAi/dz on ID=0 or ID=1 respectively. On
C         KODE=2, a scaling option exp(zeta)*Ai(z) or exp(zeta)*dAi/dz
C         is provided to remove the exponential decay in -pi/31 and from power series when abs(z)<=1.
C
C         In most complex variable computation, one must evaluate ele-
C         mentary functions.  When the magnitude of Z is large, losses
C         of significance by argument reduction occur.  Consequently, if
C         the magnitude of ZETA=(2/3)*Z**(3/2) exceeds U1=SQRT(0.5/UR),
C         then losses exceeding half precision are likely and an error
C         flag IERR=3 is triggered where UR=R1MACH(4)=UNIT ROUNDOFF.
C         Also, if the magnitude of ZETA is larger than U2=0.5/UR, then
C         all significance is lost and IERR=4.  In order to use the INT
C         function, ZETA must be further restricted not to exceed
C         U3=I1MACH(9)=LARGEST INTEGER.  Thus, the magnitude of ZETA
C         must be restricted by MIN(U2,U3).  In IEEE arithmetic, U1,U2,
C         and U3 are approximately 2.0E+3, 4.2E+6, 2.1E+9 in single
C         precision and 4.7E+7, 2.3E+15, 2.1E+9 in double precision.
C         This makes U2 limiting is single precision and U3 limiting
C         in double precision.  This means that the magnitude of Z
C         cannot exceed approximately 3.4E+4 in single precision and
C         2.1E+6 in double precision.  This also means that one can
C         expect to retain, in the worst cases on 32-bit machines,
C         no digits in single precision and only 6 digits in double
C         precision.
C
C         The approximate relative error in the magnitude of a complex
C         Bessel function can be expressed as P*10**S where P=MAX(UNIT
C         ROUNDOFF,1.0E-18) is the nominal precision and 10**S repre-
C         sents the increase in error due to argument reduction in the
C         elementary functions.  Here, S=MAX(1,ABS(LOG10(ABS(Z))),
C         ABS(LOG10(FNU))) approximately (i.e., S=MAX(1,ABS(EXPONENT OF
C         ABS(Z),ABS(EXPONENT OF FNU)) ).  However, the phase angle may
C         have only absolute accuracy.  This is most likely to occur
C         when one component (in magnitude) is larger than the other by
C         several orders of magnitude.  If one component is 10**K larger
C         than the other, then one can expect only MAX(ABS(LOG10(P))-K,
C         0) significant digits; or, stated another way, when K exceeds
C         the exponent of P, no significant digits remain in the smaller
C         component.  However, the phase angle retains absolute accuracy
C         because, in complex arithmetic with precision P, the smaller
C         component will not (as a rule) decrease below P times the
C         magnitude of the larger component. In these extreme cases,
C         the principal phase angle is on the order of +P, -P, PI/2-P,
C         or -PI/2+P.
