SUBROUTINE COUNT(X,N,XMIN,XMAX,IWRITE,XCOUNT)
C
C     PURPOSE--THIS SUBROUTINE COMPUTES 
C              THE NUMBER OF OBSERVATIONS
C              BETWEEN XMIN AND XMAX (INCLUSIVELY)
C              IN THE INPUT VECTOR X.
C     INPUT  ARGUMENTS--X      = THE SINGLE PRECISION VECTOR OF
C                                (UNSORTED OR SORTED) OBSERVATIONS.
C                     --N      = THE INTEGER NUMBER OF OBSERVATIONS
C                                IN THE VECTOR X. 
C                     --XMIN   = THE SINGLE PRECISION VALUE 
C                                WHICH DEFINES THE LOWER LIMIT
C                                (INCLUSIVELY) OF THE REGION
C                                OF INTEREST.
C                     --XMAX   = THE SINGLE PRECISION VALUE 
C                                WHICH DEFINES THE UPPER LIMIT
C                                (INCLUSIVELY) OF THE REGION
C                                OF INTEREST.
C                     --IWRITE = AN INTEGER FLAG CODE WHICH 
C                                (IF SET TO 0) WILL SUPPRESS
C                                THE PRINTING OF THE
C                                SAMPLE COUNT
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                                SAMPLE COUNT
C                                AT THE TIME IT IS COMPUTED.
C     OUTPUT ARGUMENTS--XCOUNT = THE SINGLE PRECISION VALUE OF THE
C                                COMPUTED SAMPLE COUNT.
C     OUTPUT--THE COMPUTED SINGLE PRECISION VALUE OF THE
C             SAMPLE COUNT.
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--THERE IS NO RESTRICTION ON THE MAXIMUM VALUE
C                   OF N FOR THIS SUBROUTINE.
C     OTHER DATAPAC   SUBROUTINES NEEDED--NONE.
C     FORTRAN LIBRARY SUBROUTINES NEEDED--NONE.
C     MODE OF INTERNAL OPERATIONS--SINGLE PRECISION.
C     LANGUAGE--ANSI FORTRAN.
