double precision function rcssr(r,par)
c
c     robust rho function:
c  This is a peicewise polynomial with knots at -C , 0 and C
c  the function is quadratic for -C<u<0 and 0<u<C
c  the function is linear for u<-C and u>C
c  rho is continuous for all u aqnd differentiable for all points 
c  except u=0 when a != 1/2

c    rho(u) =      2*a*u - a*c     for u>C
c                  a*u**2/C        for   0<u< C   
c                  (1-a)*u**2/C    for -C<u<0
