    Netlib is a system for distribution of mathematical software
    by  electronic  mail.  To get information about Netlib, mail
    the following one-line message to netlib@ornl.gov.

             send index

    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
