7-D Array Operations
The AR7 routines provide operations to support ASTERIX applications
which manipulate binned data in an N-dimensional fashion. The way
this is done is to coerce the dimensions of all such arrays to 7D
by padding the dimensions array with 1's. The AR7 routines handle
arrays which have such dimensions - their operation is often quite
simple but their presence saves each dimension being passed as a
separate argument (as Fortran 77 requires).
The routines are suffixed with the Starlink standard type
codes, ie. [B]yte, [W]ord,
[I]integer, [R]eal and [D]ouble.
