Hello all,

Most people told me to use the netlib e-mail server. Problem is
( so I am told ) that most the source is in fortran. I was hoping
for C. Well, beggars can't be choosers... Fortran it is...

Here is the "quick summary" section returned by e-mail to
netlib@research.att.com with a body of "send index".

Thanks to
Ian MacPhedran <macphed@dvinci.usask.ca>
Tim Evans <fallst!uunet!fallst!tkevans@woodb.uucp>
Andy Purshottam <andy@spl28.spl.loral.com>

Peter J. Welcher <pjw@usna.navy.mil> also told me that ...
-----------
 NIST (former Bureau of Standards) has a tape with LINPACK, EISPACK and all
 that good stuff. Fortran source. It's called cmlib. I include the readme.

                    ( Version 3.0 --- April 1988 )
  
    A collection of non-proprietary, easily transportable Fortran
    subprogram packages solving a variety of mathematical and statistical
    problems.

Thanks for the info Peter.

I would also like to thank Ron Hall.
