      SUBROUTINE SPCORR(X,Y,N,IWRITE,SPC)
C
C     PURPOSE--THIS SUBROUTINE COMPUTES THE
C              SPEARMAN RANK CORRELATION COEFFICIENT
C              BETWEEN THE 2 SETS OF DATA IN THE INPUT VECTORS X AND Y.
C              THE SPEARMAN RANK CORRELATION COEFFICIENT WILL BE A
C              SINGLE PRECISION VALUE BETWEEN -1.0 AND 1.0
C              (INCLUSIVELY). 
C     INPUT  ARGUMENTS--X      = THE SINGLE PRECISION VECTOR OF
C                                (UNSORTED OR SORTED) OBSERVATIONS
C                                WHICH CONSTITUTE THE FIRST SET
C                                OF DATA.
C                     --Y      = THE SINGLE PRECISION VECTOR OF
C                                (UNSORTED OR SORTED) OBSERVATIONS
C                                WHICH CONSTITUTE THE SECOND SET
C                                OF DATA.
C                     --N      = THE INTEGER NUMBER OF OBSERVATIONS
C                                IN THE VECTOR X, OR EQUIVALENTLY,
C                                THE INTEGER NUMBER OF OBSERVATIONS
C                                IN THE VECTOR Y. 
C                     --IWRITE = AN INTEGER FLAG CODE WHICH 
C                                (IF SET TO 0) WILL SUPPRESS
C                                THE PRINTING OF THE
C                                SPEARMAN RANK CORRELATION COEFFICIENT
C                                AS IT IS COMPUTED;
C                                OR (IF SET TO SOME INTEGER 
C                                VALUE NOT EQUAL TO 0),
C                                LIKE, SAY, 1) WILL CAUSE
C                                THE PRINTING OF THE
C                                SPEARMAN CORRELATION COEFFICIENT
C                                AT THE TIME IT IS COMPUTED.
C     OUTPUT ARGUMENTS--SPC    = THE SINGLE PRECISION VALUE OF THE
C                                COMPUTED SPEARMAN RANK CORRELATION
C                                COEFFICIENT BETWEEN THE 2 SETS OF DATA
C                                IN THE INPUT VECTORS X AND Y.
C                                THIS SINGLE PRECISION VALUE
C                                WILL BE BETWEEN -1.0 AND 1.0
C                                (INCLUSIVELY).
C     OUTPUT--THE COMPUTED SINGLE PRECISION VALUE OF THE
C             SPEARMAN RANK CORRELATION COEFFICIENT BETWEEN THE 2 SETS
C             OF DATA IN THE INPUT VECTORS X AND Y.
C     PRINTING--NONE, UNLESS IWRITE HAS BEEN SET TO A NON-ZERO
C               INTEGER, OR UNLESS AN INPUT ARGUMENT ERROR
C               CONDITION EXISTS.
C     RESTRICTIONS--THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE VALUE OF N
