## Function/Subroutine Documentation

### subroutine sladiv (real a, real b, real c, real d, real p, real q)

**SLADIV** performs complex division in real arithmetic, avoiding unnecessary overflow.

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> SLADIV performs complex division in  real arithmetic
!>
!>                       a + i*b
!>            p + i*q = ---------
!>                       c + i*d
!>
!> The algorithm is due to Michael Baudin and Robert L. Smith
!> and can be found in the paper
!>
!>
```
