     NAME
          hypot, cabs - euclidean distance

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <math.h>

          double hypot(x, y)
          double x, y;

          double cabs(z)
          struct { double x, y; }

     DESCRIPTION
          Hypot and cabs return

               sqrt(x*x + y*y),

          taking precautions against unwarranted overflows.
