SYNOPSIS
sec(x [,eps])
TYPES
x real
eps nonzero real, defaults to epsilon()
return real
DESCRIPTION
Calculate the secant of x to a multiple of eps, with error less
in absolute value than .75 * eps.
EXAMPLE
> print sec(1, 1e-5), sec(1, 1e-10), sec(1, 1e-15), sec(1, 1e-20)

LIMITS
unlike sin and cos, x must be real
eps > 0
LIBRARY
NUMBER *qsec(NUMBER *x, NUMBER *eps)
