%
%  Parameters:
%
%    Input, integer N, the size of the current list.
%
%    Input, real X(N), Y(N), the list.
%
%    Input, integer INDX(N), the sort index of the list.
%
%    Input, real XVAL, YVAL, the value to be sought.
%
%    Output, integer LESS, EQUAL, MORE, the indexes in INDX of the
%    entries of X that are just less than, equal to, and just greater
%    than XVAL.  If XVAL does not occur in X, then EQUAL is zero.
%    If XVAL is the minimum entry of X, then LESS is 0.  If XVAL
%    is the greatest entry of X, then MORE is N+1.
