In your posting you ask:

Are any of these standard?

[...]
>MAX0
>AMAX1
>DMAX1
>AMAX0
>MAX1
>MIN0
>AMIN1
>DMIN1
>AMIN0
>MIN1


All these appear in a FORTRAN IV manual (IBM System/360 and System/370 
GC28-6515-10 June 1981) I've had for some time.  All are listed as `
"ANS FORTRAN Intrinsic functions" whereas simple "MAX" is flagged as 
an extension.  To list the differences would take too
much typing but for example

MAX and MAX0 perform the same function (extract the maximum form a list of
integers) whereas MAX1 extracts the maximum of a list of reals but returns
an integer (it's not clear from the manual if the integer is obtained by
rounding/chopping/guessing...) and AMAX1 extracts the maximum from a list
of reals.

Hope this is some help.
