       Purpose
       =======

       SLACON estimates the 1-norm of a square matrix A.
       Reverse communication is used for evaluating matrix-vector products.

       Arguments
       =========

       N      (input) INT
              The order of the matrix.  N >= 1.

       V      (workspace) FLOAT PRECISION array, dimension (N)
              On the final return, V = A*W,  where  EST = norm(V)/norm(W)
              (W is not returned).

       X      (input/output) FLOAT PRECISION array, dimension (N)
              On an intermediate return, X should be overwritten by
                    A * X,   if KASE=1,
                    A' * X,  if KASE=2,
             and SLACON must be re-called with all the other parameters
              unchanged.

       ISGN   (workspace) INT array, dimension (N)

       EST    (output) FLOAT PRECISION
              An estimate (a lower bound) for norm(A).

       KASE   (input/output) INT
              On the initial call to SLACON, KASE should be 0.
              On an intermediate return, KASE will be 1 or 2, indicating
              whether X should be overwritten by A * X  or A' * X.
              On the final return from SLACON, KASE will again be 0.
