NAME
     vec_$dsub_vector - subtract two double-precision vectors

SYNOPSIS (C)
     #include <apollo/base.h>
     #include <apollo/vec.h>

     void vec_$dsub_vector(
          double *start_vec,
          double *sub_vec,
          long int &length,
          double *result_vec)

SYNOPSIS (Pascal)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.pas';
     %include '/sys/ins/vec.ins.pas';

     procedure vec_$dsub_vector(
          in start_vec: univ vec_$double_vector;
          in sub_vec: univ vec_$double_vector;
          in length: integer32;
          out result_vec: univ vec_$double_vector);

SYNOPSIS (FORTRAN)
     %include '/sys/ins/base.ins.ftn'
     %include '/sys/ins/vec.ins.ftn'

           parameter (nvec = 10)

           real*8 start_vec(nvec), result_vec(nvec), sub_vec(nvec)
           integer*4 length

           call vec_$dsub_vector(start_vec, sub_vec, length, result_vec)

DESCRIPTION
     Vec_$dsub_vector subtracts the vector sub_vec from start_vec and stores
     the final result in result_vec.  It differs from vec_$sub_vector in that
     the argument vectors are double-precision floating-point.  The calcula-
     tion performed is as follows:

     For each integer I such that 1 <= I <= length,
     result_vec(I) = start_vec(I) - sub_vec(I)

     start_vec
          A vector to be subtracted from.

     sub_vec
          A vector to be subtracted.

     length
          The number of elements to be operated on;  normally the same as the
          number of elements in the vectors.

     result_vec
          The vector created by subtracting sub_vec from start_vec.

NOTES
     When vec_$dsub_vector is used to operate on matrixes in C and Pascal,
     start_vec, sub_vec, and result_vec are row vectors; in FORTRAN, they are
     column vectors.

     As in all the vec_$ calls, the result array must not overlap any of the
     input arrays; the result array may be identical to an input, but must not
     contain any subset of it.   Because of pipelining, using overlapping
     input and output arrays may cause incorrect results.
