%
%  Input:
%
%    integer N, the index of the desired prime number.
%    In general, is should be true that 0 <= N <= PRIME_MAX.
%    N = -1 returns PRIME_MAX, the index of the largest prime available.
%    N = 0 is legal, returning PRIME = 1.
%
%  Output:
%
%    integer P, the N-th prime.  If N is out of range, P
%    is returned as -1.
