3843: THE 'ARCCOS' FUNCTION (offset +23)
The address of this routine is found in the table of addresses. It is called indirectly via fp_calc_2.
This subroutine handles the function ACS X and returns a real number from 0 to π inclusive which is equal to the value in radians of the angle whose cosine is X.
This subroutine uses the relation ACS X=π/2-ASN X.
