For background about Netlib, see Jack J. Dongarra and Eric
Grosse, ``Distribution of Mathematical Software Via Elec-
tronic Mail,'' _C_A_C_M (1987) Vol. 30, pp. 403-407.
The Netlib library includes the following software collec-
tions (for details on each, see the index message).
a - approximation algorithms (almost empty, but soon to grow)
alliant - set of programs collected from Alliant users
apollo - set of programs collected from Apollo users
benchmark - various benchmark programs and a summary of timings
bihar - Bjorstad's biharmonic solver
bmp - Brent's multiple precision package
cheney-kincaid - programs from the text Numerical Mathematics and Computing.
conformal - Schwarz-Christoffel codes by Trefethen, Bjorstad & Grosse
core - machine constants, blas
domino - communication and scheduling of multiple tasks; Univ. Maryland
eispack - matrix eigenvalues and vectors
elefunt - Cody and Waite's tests for elementary functions
errata - corrections to numerical books
fishpack - separable elliptic PDEs; Swarztrauber and Sweet
fitpack - Cline's splines under tension
