*DECK DXRED
      SUBROUTINE DXRED (X, IX, IERROR)
C***BEGIN PROLOGUE  DXRED
C***PURPOSE  To provide double-precision floating-point arithmetic
C            with an extended exponent range.
C***LIBRARY   SLATEC
C***CATEGORY  A3D
C***TYPE      DOUBLE PRECISION (XRED-S, DXRED-D)
C***KEYWORDS  EXTENDED-RANGE DOUBLE-PRECISION ARITHMETIC
C***AUTHOR  Lozier, Daniel W., (National Bureau of Standards)
C           Smith, John M., (NBS and George Mason University)
C***DESCRIPTION
C     DOUBLE PRECISION X
C     INTEGER IX
C
C                  IF
C                  RADIX**(-2L) .LE. (ABS(X),IX) .LE. RADIX**(2L)
C                  THEN DXRED TRANSFORMS (X,IX) SO THAT IX=0.
C                  IF (X,IX) IS OUTSIDE THE ABOVE RANGE,
C                  THEN DXRED TAKES NO ACTION.
C                  THIS SUBROUTINE IS USEFUL IF THE
C                  RESULTS OF EXTENDED-RANGE CALCULATIONS
C                  ARE TO BE USED IN SUBSEQUENT ORDINARY
C                  DOUBLE-PRECISION CALCULATIONS.
