    NARGS(III)                   5/10/73                   NARGS(III)

    NAME
         nargs - argument count

    SYNOPSIS
         nargs( )

    DESCRIPTION
         Nargs  returns  the  number of actual parameters supplied by
         the caller of the routine which calls nargs.

         The argument count is accurate only when none of the  actual
         parameters  is  float  or  double.  Such parameters count as
         four arguments instead of one.

    BUGS
         As indicated.  Also, this routine does not work (and  cannot
         be  made  to work) in programs with separated I and D space.
         Altogether it is best to avoid using this  routine  and  de-
         pend, for example, on passing an explicit argument count.
