<h3>
Description:
</h3>
Computes the signature of the polynomial which
defines an equation suborder of the given order
o. The two entries of \L are the number of real roots and one
half of the number of complex roots of the corresponding generating
polynomial. For further information see the description
of <tt> PolySig.</tt>

Example:
</h3>
Compute the signature of x^4 + 73x^2 - 280x - 2399. 
<pre>

kash> o := Order (Poly(Zx,[1,0, 73, -280, -2399]));
Generating polynomial: x^4 + 73*x^2 - 280*x - 2399

kash> L := OrderSig (o);
> [ 2, 1 ]
