Uses 'nxec' = 1 executables, internally called through 'CALL SYSTEM'. There is one spurious call to PARABDIV_1 !

Computes the profile and the volume of a generalized paraboloid of revolution, around the horizontal axis, given by the (adimensionalized) function r ⁄ R = (h ⁄ H)β , where 0 ≤ h ≤ H and 0 ≤ r ≤ R or, equivalently, Y = Xβ, with X = h / H and Y = r / R, both in [0, 1]. The paraboloid, such as a (drinking) glass, corresponds to β = 1⁄2 (a cylinder, for β = 0).
 From the parameters V, H and R, only two can, obviously, be given, as nonzero. If three are given, the last one (R) is ignored (computed).
 Draws the plots of r and v vs. h, with v the running volume for a solid of revolution, v(h) = π ∫0h [r(x)]² dx . The functions are simply r ⁄ R = (h ⁄ H)β and v ⁄ V = (h ⁄ H)2 β + 1 , with β > −1 ⁄ 2.
