*  Purpose
*  =======
*
*  PDLAMCH determines double precision machine parameters.
*
*  Arguments
*  =========
*
*  ICTXT   (global input) INTEGER
*          The BLACS context handle in which the computation takes
*          place.
*
*  CMACH   (global input) CHARACTER*1
*          Specifies the value to be returned by PDLAMCH:
*          = 'E' or 'e',   PDLAMCH := eps
*          = 'S' or 's ,   PDLAMCH := sfmin
*          = 'B' or 'b',   PDLAMCH := base
*          = 'P' or 'p',   PDLAMCH := eps*base
*          = 'N' or 'n',   PDLAMCH := t
*          = 'R' or 'r',   PDLAMCH := rnd
*          = 'M' or 'm',   PDLAMCH := emin
*          = 'U' or 'u',   PDLAMCH := rmin
*          = 'L' or 'l',   PDLAMCH := emax
*          = 'O' or 'o',   PDLAMCH := rmax
*
*          where
*
*          eps   = relative machine precision
*          sfmin = safe minimum, such that 1/sfmin does not overflow
*          base  = base of the machine
*          prec  = eps*base
*          t     = number of (base) digits in the mantissa
*          rnd   = 1.0 when rounding occurs in addition, 0.0 otherwise
*          emin  = minimum exponent before (gradual) underflow
*          rmin  = underflow threshold - base**(emin-1)
*          emax  = largest exponent before overflow
*          rmax  = overflow threshold  - (base**emax)*(1-eps)
