module infnan
!-------------------------------------------------------------------------
!
! Purpose:
!
! Set parameters for the floating point flags "inf" Infinity
! and "nan" not-a-number. As well as "bigint" the point
! at which integers start to overflow. These values are used
! to initialize arrays with as a way to detect if arrays
! are being used before being set.
