PROB_KUIPER

       Return the significance of the Kuiper statistic

       Returns the significance level of an observed value of the
       Kuiper statistic D for an effective number of data points
       N_eff.   Called by KUIPERONE

       D -  Kuiper statistic, floating scalar, always non-negative
       N_eff - Effective number of data points, scalar.   For a 2 sided test
               this is given by (N1*N2)/(N1+N2) where N1 and N2 are the number
               of points in each data set.

       probks - floating scalar between 0 and 1 giving the significance level of
               the Kuiper statistic.   Small values of PROB suggest that the
               distribution being tested are not the same

       Probably did not affect numeric result, but iteration went longer
       than necessary
