c
c     o uses a set of control variables, their adjoint variables,
c       and a cost function value
c       to compute an improved set of controls with respect to the
c       cost function via a
c       variable-storage Quasi-Newton method

c                  quasi-Newton algorithms

c     o Version: 2.0, 24-Feb-2000: 
c                    (Version 1.0 is considered as version
c                     starting from which changes were made).
c                   - severe changes in structure including various
c                     bug-fixes to enable multi-optimization runs;
c                   - routine lsoptw incorporated into lsoptv
c                   - optimization iteration loop restructured
c                   - complete restructuring of handling
c                     cold start cases
c                   - number of 3 control flags for error handling
c                     (indic, moderl, ifail) reduced to 1 (ifail)
c                     and homogenized with routine lsline
c
c     o Version: 2.1, 29-Feb-2000:
c                   - handling of case ifail = 6 changed;
c                     leads to stop of optimization
c                     (similar to case ifail = 8)
c                   - logical lphprint included
