SPECFN is a library of double precision Fortran subroutines for error and
complementary error functions, exponential and scaled exponential integrals,
sine and cosine integrals, and hyperbolic sine and cosine integrals. The
software assumes a floating-point mantissa length of 60 bits and an
overflow limit of approximately 10^308 but these values can be changed
by altering DATA statements. The methods used are power series, continued 
fractions, and asymptotic series.
