%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% MAIN is the main program for INT_EXACTNESS_GEN_HERMITE.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    This program investigates a generalized Gauss-Hermite quadrature rule
%    by using it to integrate monomials over (-oo,+oo), and comparing the
%    approximate result to the known exact value.
%
%    The user specifies:
%    * the "root" name of the R, W and X files that specify the rule;
%    * DEGREE_MAX, the maximum monomial degree to be checked;
%    * ALPHA, the power of X in the weighting function;
%    * OPTION, whether the rule is for |x|^alpha*exp(-x*x)*f(x) or f(x).

%
%  Discussion:
%
%    The file is assumed to be a simple text file.

%    Most lines of the file are presumed to consist of COLUMN_NUM words,

%
%% FILE_ROW_COUNT counts the number of row records in a file.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    Each input line is a "RECORD".
%
%    The records are divided into three groups:
%    
%    * BLANK LINES (nothing but blanks)
%    * COMMENT LINES (begin with a '#')
%    * DATA RECORDS (anything else)
%
%    The value returned by the function is the number of data records.
%
%    By the way, if the MATLAB routine FGETS is used, instead of
%    FGETL, then the variable LINE will include line termination 
%    characters, which means that a blank line would not actually
%    have zero characters.
