>(I wonder if SIGN is used in any FORTRAN program outside a test suite :-)
You betcha, and it's used outside Fortran, also. There's no nice way
to do this one simply, either; you *don't* want to do a multiply just
to copy a sign.
I just grepped for copysign in the 4.3BSD math library, and found
fifty-odd uses there alone.
