C C for A .GT. 0.0 and by analytic continuation for A .LE. 0.0. C GAMMA(X) is the complete gamma function of X. C C GAMIT is evaluated for arbitrary real values of A and for non- C negative values of X (even though GAMIT is defined for X .LT. C 0.0), except that for X = 0 and A .LE. 0.0, GAMIT is infinite, C which is a fatal error. C C The function and both arguments are REAL. C C A slight deterioration of 2 or 3 digits accuracy will occur when C GAMIT is very large or very small in absolute value, because log- C arithmic variables are used. Also, if the parameter A is very C close to a negative integer (but not a negative integer), there is C a loss of accuracy, which is reported if the result is less than C half machine precision.
