IMSL Name:  IDAMAX (Single precision version)
 
Revised:    August 9, 1986
 
Purpose:    Find the smallest index of the component of a
            double-precision vector having maximum absolute value.
 
Usage:      IDAMAX(N, DX, INCX)
 
Arguments:
   N      - Length of vector X.  (Input)
   DX     - Double precision vector of length N*INCX.  (Input)
   INCX   - Displacement between elements of DX.  (Input)
            X(I) is defined to be DX(1+(I-1)*INCX). INCX must be
            greater than zero.
   IDAMAX - The smallest index I such that DABS(X(I)) is the maximum
            of DABS(X(J)) for J=1 to N.  (Output)
            X(I) refers to a specific element of DX. See INCX
            argument description.
