This is a subroutine for conversion of double precision to

floating point format and vice-versa. A routine to move the

radix point in a double precision number to any location is

also included as a separate subroutine. The listing for these

routines is not included with the write-up, but can be gener-

ated from the source tapes. However, a small program is

included which was written to prove this version of the

ROTATE subroutine.
