Source for cube root calculation

["Richard Thomas" <RichardThomas@xxxxxxx>]

Quick and dirty...

*=============================================================================================
      *   Quick and dirty cube root routine.
      *   Requires two parameters:
      *       o   Number to calculate the cube root for
      *       o   Cube root returned to the caller
      *   I've set these parameters to five decimal positions, but you 
obviously can redefine them
      *   according to your own needs.
      *
      *   Compile this source using CRTBNDRPG and then you'll be able to call 
this routine in your
      *   non-ILE programs.
