FITDS

       REAL FUNCTION  FITDS (T, N, X, A, B, C, D, IT)
 C$    (First Derivative of Cubic Spline)
 C$    This function interpolates the derivative  of a curve at  a
 C$    given point using a cubic spline.  SUBROUTINE FITSM  should
 C$    be  called   earlier   to   determine   certain   necessary
 C$    parameters.  For best results, it is recommended that  this
 C$    function  to  used  to  evaluate  the  derivatives  at  the
 C$    original data points, and then to call SUBROUTINE FITSM  to
 C$    obtain a  new spline  function  for the  derivatives.   The
 C$    splined derivatives then obtained from FUNCTION FITCS  will
 C$    generally be much less oscillatory than the derivatives  of
 C$    the spline computed here.

 C$    On input--
 C$
 C$    T...........ordinate value for which the cubic spline
 C$                interpolant is to be evaluated.
 C$    N...........number of points in X(*).
 C$    X(*)........original ordinate values used to determine
 C$                the spline.
 C$    A(*),B(*),C(*),D(*).....spline polynomial coefficients.
 C$    IT.......... .EQ. 1 - first call.
 C$                 .NE. 1 - subsequent call  (with N, X, A, B, C,
 C$                          D unchanged),  and  this value  of  T
 C$                          larger than the  previous value.   In
 C$                          such  a  case,  the  search  for  the
 C$                          interval  in  which  T  lies  can  be
 C$                          greatly   speeded.    Thus   IT   can
 C$                          frequently be  a  loop index  in  the
 C$                          calling program  if the  values of  T
 C$                          are incremented successively.
 C$
 C$    The parameters  N,  X, A,  B,  C,  and D  should  be  input
 C$    unaltered from the output of SUBROUTINE FITSM.
 C$
 C$    On output--
 C$
 C$    FITDS......contains the interpolated derivative.  For T less
 C$               than X(1), FITDS = YPRIME(1).  For T greater than
 C$               X(N), FITDS = YPRIME(N).

 C$    None of  the input  parameters are  altered.  Adapted  from
