/***
*_ULDOUBLE _atold( char * string ) - convert string to a long double
*
*Purpose:
*   _atold() recognizes an optional string of whitespace, then
*   an optional sign, then a string of digits optionally
*   containing a decimal point, then an optional e or E followed
*   by an optionally signed integer, and converts all this to
*   to a long double.  The first unrecognized character ends the string.
*
*Entry:
*   string - pointer to string to convert
*
*Exit:
*   returns long double value of character representation
*
*Exceptions:
*
