 Note1: Or JMAX0.
 Note2: Or AJMAX0.  AMAX0 is the same as REAL(MAX). For 
        compatibility with older versions of Fortran, AMAX0
        can also be specified as a generic function.
 Note3: Or JMAX1.  MAX1 is the same as INT(MAX). For 
        compatibility with older versions of Fortran, MAX1 
        can also be specified as a generic function.

 These functions cannot be passed as actual arguments.

 The setting of compiler options specifying integer size can affect
 MAX1.

 The setting of compiler options specifying real size can affect
 AMAX1.
