NAME
     vec_$mult_sub - multiply a scalar by a single-precision vector, subtract
     a vector

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

     void vec_$mult_sub(
          float *mult_vec,
          float *start_vec,
          long int &length,
          float &constant,
          float *result_vec)

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

     procedure vec_$mult_sub(
          in mult_vec: univ vec_$real_vector;
          in start_vec: univ vec_$real_vector;
          in length: integer32;
          in constant: real;
          out result_vec: univ vec_$real_vector);

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

           parameter (nvec = 10)

           real start_vec(nvec), mult_vec(nvec), result_vec(nvec), constant
           integer*4 length

           call vec_$mult_sub(mult_vec, start_vec, length, constant, result_vec)

DESCRIPTION
     Vec_$mult_sub multiplies the vector mult_vec by the scalar constant, sub-
     tracts the vector start_vec from the result, and stores the final result
     in result_vec.  The calculation performed is as follows:

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

     mult_vec
          The vector to be multiplied.

     start_vec
          The vector to be subtracted.

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

     constant
          The scalar by which mult_vec is multiplied.

     result_vec
          The vector created by multiplying mult_vec by constant and subtract-
          ing  start_vec from the result.

NOTES
     When vec_$mult_sub is used to operate on matrixes in C and Pascal,
     mult_vec, start_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.
