  This routine calculates modified Bessel functions
  of the third kind, K_(N+ALPHA) (X), for non-negative
  argument X, and non-negative order N+ALPHA, with or without
  exponential scaling.

  Explanation of variables in the calling sequence

 X     - Non-negative argument for which
     K's or exponentially scaled K's (K*EXP(X))
     are to be calculated.  If K's are to be calculated,
     X must not be greater than XMAX_BESS_K.
 ALPHA - Fractional part of order for which
     K's or exponentially scaled K's (K*EXP(X)) are
     to be calculated.  0 <= ALPHA < 1.0.
 NB    - Number of functions to be calculated, NB > 0.
     The first function calculated is of order ALPHA, and the
     last is of order (NB - 1 + ALPHA).
 IZE   - Type.  IZE = 1 if unscaled K's are to be calculated,
            = 2 if exponentially scaled K's are to be calculated.
 BK    - Output vector of length NB.    If the
     routine terminates normally (NCALC=NB), the vector BK
     contains the functions K(ALPHA,X), ... , K(NB-1+ALPHA,X),
     or the corresponding exponentially scaled functions.
     If (0 < NCALC < NB), BK(I) contains correct function
     values for I <= NCALC, and contains the ratios
     K(ALPHA+I-1,X)/K(ALPHA+I-2,X) for the rest of the array.
 NCALC - Output variable indicating possible errors.
     Before using the vector BK, the user should check that
     NCALC=NB, i.e., all orders have been calculated to
     the desired accuracy.  See error returns below.


 *******************************************************************

 Error returns

  In case of an error, NCALC != NB, and not all K's are
  calculated to the desired accuracy.

  NCALC < -1:  An argument is out of range. For example,
    NB <= 0, IZE is not 1 or 2, or IZE=1 and ABS(X) >= XMAX_BESS_K.
    In this case, the B-vector is not calculated,
    and NCALC is set to MIN0(NB,0)-2     so that NCALC != NB.
  NCALC = -1:  Either  K(ALPHA,X) >= XINF  or
    K(ALPHA+NB-1,X)/K(ALPHA+NB-2,X) >= XINF.     In this case,
    the B-vector is not calculated. Note that again
    NCALC != NB.

  0 < NCALC < NB: Not all requested function values could
    be calculated accurately.  BK(I) contains correct function
    values for I <= NCALC, and contains the ratios
    K(ALPHA+I-1,X)/K(ALPHA+I-2,X) for the rest of the array.


 Intrinsic functions required are:

     ABS, AINT, EXP, INT, LOG, MAX, MIN, SINH, SQRT


 Acknowledgement

    This program is based on a program written by J. B. Campbell
    (2) that computes values of the Bessel functions K of float
    argument and float order.  Modifications include the addition
    of non-scaled functions, parameterization of machine
    dependencies, and the use of more accurate approximations
    for SINH and SIN.
