          |      This routine calculates the hyperbolic sine of its argument,
          |      defined  as  sinh(x)  =  [exp(x) - exp(-x)]/2.  The argument
          |      must  be  smaller  than  22623.630826296.    The   condition
          |      SWT_MATH_ERROR$  is signalled if there is an argument error.
          |      An on-unit can be established to deal with this  error;  the
          |      SWT  Math  Library  contains a default handler named 'err$m'
          |      which the user may utilize.  If an error is  signalled,  the
          |      default return value will be zero.

          |      This  function  is  intended  to serve as a single precision
          |      function although it returns a double precision result.  The
          |      function has been coded so that any value returned will  not
          |      overflow  or  underflow  a  single  precision floating point
          |      value.  The double precision register  overlaps  the  single
          |      precision register so it is possible to declare and use this
          |      function as simply a "real" function.

          |      Waite and William Cody, Jr.  (Prentice-Hall, 1980).
