SLAED6 computes the positive or negative root (closest to the origin)


 of


                  z(1)        z(2)        z(3)


 f(x) =   rho + --------- + ---------- + ---------


                 d(1)-x      d(2)-x      d(3)-x


 It is assumed that


       if ORGATI = .true. the root is between d(2) and d(3);


       otherwise it is between d(1) and d(2)


 This routine will be called by SLAED4 when necessary. In most cases,


 the root sought is the smallest in magnitude, though it might not be


 in some extremely rare situations.

KNITER

          KNITER is INTEGER


               Refer to SLAED4 for its significance.

ORGATI

          ORGATI is LOGICAL


               If ORGATI is true, the needed root is between d(2) and


               d(3); otherwise it is between d(1) and d(2).  See


               SLAED4 for further details.

RHO

          RHO is REAL


               Refer to the equation f(x) above.

D

          D is REAL array, dimension (3)


               D satisfies d(1) < d(2) < d(3).

Z

          Z is REAL array, dimension (3)


               Each of the elements in z must be positive.

FINIT

          FINIT is REAL


               The value of f at 0. It is more accurate than the one


               evaluated inside this routine (if someone wants to do


               so).

TAU

          TAU is REAL


               The root of the equation f(x).

INFO

          INFO is INTEGER


               = 0: successful exit


               > 0: if INFO = 1, failure to converge
