 NAME
      SPTCON - compute the reciprocal of the condition number (in
      the 1-norm) of a real symmetric positive definite tridiago-
      nal matrix using the factorization A = L*D*L**T or A =
      U**T*D*U computed by SPTTRF

 SYNOPSIS
      SUBROUTINE SPTCON( N, D, E, ANORM, RCOND, WORK, INFO )

          INTEGER        INFO, N

          REAL           ANORM, RCOND

          REAL           D( * ), E( * ), WORK( * )

 PURPOSE
      SPTCON computes the reciprocal of the condition number (in
      the 1-norm) of a real symmetric positive definite tridiago-
      nal matrix using the factorization A = L*D*L**T or A =
      U**T*D*U computed by SPTTRF.

      Norm(inv(A)) is computed by a direct method, and the
      reciprocal of the condition number is computed as
                   RCOND = 1 / (ANORM * norm(inv(A))).

 ARGUMENTS
      N       (input) INTEGER
              The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.

      D       (input) REAL array, dimension (N)
              The n diagonal elements of the diagonal matrix D
              from the factorization of A, as computed by SPTTRF.

      E       (input) REAL array, dimension (N-1)
              The (n-1) off-diagonal elements of the unit bidiago-
              nal factor U or L from the factorization of A,  as
              computed by SPTTRF.

      ANORM   (input) REAL
              The 1-norm of the original matrix A.

      RCOND   (output) REAL
              The reciprocal of the condition number of the matrix
              A, computed as RCOND = 1/(ANORM * AINVNM), where
              AINVNM is the 1-norm of inv(A) computed in this rou-
              tine.

      WORK    (workspace) REAL array, dimension (N)

      INFO    (output) INTEGER
              = 0:  successful exit

              < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal
              value
