function value = d1mach ( i )

%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% D1MACH returns double precision real machine constants.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    Assume that double precision real numbers are stored with a mantissa
%    of T digits in base B, with an exponent whose value must lie
%    between EMIN and EMAX.  Then for values of I between 1 and 5,
%    D1MACH will return the following values:
%
%      D1MACH(1) = B^(EMIN-1), the smallest positive magnitude.
%      D1MACH(2) = B^EMAX*(1-B^(-T)), the largest magnitude.
%      D1MACH(3) = B^(-T), the smallest relative spacing.
%      D1MACH(4) = B^(1-T), the largest relative spacing.
%      D1MACH(5) = log10(B)
