C For ABS(X) .LE. 1, the uniformly convergent expansion C SPENC = sum K=1,infinity X**K / K**2 is valid. C C Spence's function can be used to evaluate much more general integral C forms. For example, C integral from 0 to Z of LOG(A*X+B)/(C*X+D) DX = C LOG(ABS(B-A*D/C))*LOG(ABS(A*(C*X+D)/(A*D-B*C)))/C C - SPENC (A*(C*Z+D)/(A*D-B*C)) / C. C C Ref -- K.
