C***DESCRIPTION
C
C     Abstract  *** a DOUBLE PRECISION routine ***
C        DGAUS8 integrates real functions of one variable over finite
C        intervals using an adaptive 8-point Legendre-Gauss algorithm.
C        DGAUS8 is intended primarily for high accuracy integration
C        or integration of smooth functions.
C
C        The maximum number of significant digits obtainable in ANS
C        is the smaller of 18 and the number of digits carried in
C        double precision arithmetic.

C     Description of Arguments
C
C        Input--* FUN, A, B, ERR are DOUBLE PRECISION *
C        FUN - name of external function to be integrated.  This name
C              must be in an EXTERNAL statement in the calling program.
C              FUN must be a DOUBLE PRECISION function of one DOUBLE
C              PRECISION argument.  The value of the argument to FUN
C              is the variable of integration which ranges from A to B.
C        A   - lower limit of integration
C        B   - upper limit of integration (may be less than A)
C        ERR - is a requested pseudorelative error tolerance.  Normally
C              pick a value of ABS(ERR) so that DTOL .LT. ABS(ERR) .LE.
C              1.0D-3 where DTOL is the larger of 1.0D-18 and the
C              double precision unit roundoff D1MACH(4).  ANS will
C              normally have no more error than ABS(ERR) times the
C              integral of the absolute value of FUN(X).  Usually,
C              smaller values of ERR yield more accuracy and require
C              more function evaluations.
C
C              A negative value for ERR causes an estimate of the
C              absolute error in ANS to be returned in ERR.  Note that
C              ERR must be a variable (not a constant) in this case.
C              Note also that the user must reset the value of ERR
C              before making any more calls that use the variable ERR.
C
C        Output--* ERR,ANS are double precision *
C        ERR - will be an estimate of the absolute error in ANS if the
C              input value of ERR was negative.  (ERR is unchanged if
C              the input value of ERR was non-negative.)  The estimated
C              error is solely for information to the user and should
C              not be used as a correction to the computed integral.
C        ANS - computed value of integral
C        IERR- a status code
C            --Normal codes
C               1 ANS most likely meets requested error tolerance,
C                 or A=B.
C              -1 A and B are too nearly equal to allow normal
C                 integration.  ANS is set to zero.
C            --Abnormal code
C               2 ANS probably does not meet requested error tolerance.
