Hi Martin,

we had before INT(log10(relerr)) (I write it in fortran, so that 
I know what I am talking about) and I though it would be better
to truncate to the nearest integer, and to do: NINT(log10(relerr)).
The reason is that even with 15 digits of matching, the INT(log10(relerr))
often return 14, whereas NINT(log10(relerr)) give a closer estimation of
the accuracy (in number of digits).

So, it seems that it's hard to find a simple c program that
will work on any platform and will just do the same thing as "NINT"
in fortran. Ed, what is your opinion ?

Jean-Michel
