-------------------- Beta 

void cdfbet(int *which,double *p,double *q,double *x,double *y,
            double *a,double *b,int *status,double *bound)

  1     P and Q        [0,1];[0,1]       -----------        SUM to 1.0
  2     X and Y        [0,1];[0,1]       [0,1],[0,1]        SUM to 1.0

            double *pr,double *ompr,int *status,double *bound)

  1     P and Q        [0,1];[0,1]       -----------        SUM to 1.0
  2     S              [0,XN]            [0,XN]

-------------------- Chi-square

void cdfchi(int *which,double *p,double *q,double *x,double *df,
            int *status,double *bound)

      SUBROUTINE CDFCHI( WHICH, P, Q, X, DF, STATUS, BOUND )

  1     P and Q        [0,1],(0,1]       -----------        SUM to 1.0
  2     X              [0,infinity]      [0,1E100]

  4     PNONC          [0,infinity)      [0,1E4]

NOTE: We do not yet have a method to calculation the Noncentral Chi-Square
distribution acurately near 1;  therefore, Q is not used by CDFCHN.  There
are no input requirements of Q, and when WHICH is 1, Q is returned as 1-P.

  5     PNONC          [0,infinity)      [0,1E4]

NOTE: We do not yet have a method to calculation the Noncentral F
distribution acurately near 1;  therefore, Q is not used by CDFF. 
There are no input requirements of Q, and when WHICH is 1, Q is returned
as 1-P.

-------------------- Gamma
